N96AD

This airframe, registered N96AD, is a 2008-build Gulfstream G150 with serial number 246. The aircraft is owned by ALTAIR ADVANCED INDUSTRIES INC, a corporation based in Bellingham, WA, US, and is registered in the United States. Notable registry activity includes its U.S. registration as N96AD under corporate ownership; valuation records list a market value of $4,600,000, providing a snapshot of its condition and market position for a late-2000s mid-size executive jet. The airframe was produced through the Israel Aerospace Industries/Gulfstream Aerospace partnership that underpins the G150 line.

The cabin of this specific G150 conforms to the typical 7–11-place executive layout, providing a flat-floor cabin of approximately 521 cu ft with a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory. Avionics are equipped to the typical G150 standard with a Collins Pro Line 21 fit, supporting the operational needs of corporate and charter missions. Based from Bellingham, WA, under corporate registry, the aircraft is well-suited to regional and transcontinental missions within its 2,988 nm range and cruise speed of 430 kts, frequently flown for executive transport and company operations. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the G150 type’s systems and the Honeywell TFE731-40AR engine commonality, which influence scheduling and parts planning for a corporate operator.

The Gulfstream G150 occupies the mid-size, super-midsize niche as a fixed-wing multi-engine executive jet produced by Israel Aerospace Industries in partnership with Gulfstream Aerospace. With a maximum cruise around 430 kts, a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, and a near-3,000 nm range, the G150 competes with contemporaries in performance and cabin comfort within its class. Buyer and charter demand for an airframe like N96AD reflects interest in proven cockpit avionics such as the Collins Pro Line 21, the twin TFE731-40AR engine commonality, and overall value retention around $4,600,000, factors that inform maintenance and resale considerations for corporate owners.
