N91LA

The airframe with tail number N91LA is a 2003-built Gulfstream GV-SP (G550), serial number 5027, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace. The aircraft appears on the US registry under an ownership entry for Aviation Leasing Co LLC, an LLC based in New York, NY, US, which is the listed owner and operator/home base point for registry purposes. The registry also records a 20-seat executive configuration for this airframe. Delivered in 2003 and maintained on the US civil register, the airframe’s configuration and engines align with Gulfstream’s long-range corporate transport specification.

This specific Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) is fitted in a 20-seat executive layout as noted on the registry, indicating a high-density corporate or charter-capable interior rather than a typical lower-seat VIP conversion. The airframe carries Gulfstream’s PlaneView avionics suite, supporting long overwater and intercontinental mission profiles consistent with its published range. Typical operations for this aircraft, based on its equipment and owner type, would include long-range business transport and leasing/charter assignments originating from its New York registration base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on upkeep of the twin Rolls-Royce BR710-C4-11 engines and systems common to Gulfstream G550-class aircraft; the 20-seat layout may also entail additional interior certification and inspections tied to higher-capacity executive seating.

The Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) family occupies a long-range, high-speed corporate transport niche, offering transcontinental and intercontinental capability with a ceiling to 51,000 ft and cruise speed near 459 kts. Against competing models, the GV-SP balances range and passenger capacity, making airframes like N91LA attractive to leasing firms and operators seeking long-range shuttle capability in a single asset. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize the BR710 engine program status and avionics modernization potential; aircraft retained in a 20-seat configuration may attract charter demand but can require interior rework for traditional VIP resale markets.
