N96FT

This airframe, registered as N96FT, is a 2017-built Gulfstream G280 with serial number 2120. The airframe is shown in records as owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee located in Wilmington, DE, US, which serves as the on-file owner and likely principal operator/account holder for the U.S.-registered aircraft. The entry under a corporate trustee is a notable ownership status that can reflect trust-held corporate assets and centralized management. The airframe’s condition and market position are represented by an estimated asset value of $15,000,000, reflecting its 2017 build and installed systems.

The cabin is fitted in a VIP executive layout while retaining certification for up to 21 seats; typical interiors are configured for 8–10 passengers in a more spacious executive arrangement. The interior fit includes a forward galley and an aft lavatory and can provide up to two living areas, supporting long-range executive transport and multi-leg mission flexibility. Avionics are fitted with Gulfstream’s PlaneView280™ integrated flight deck, supporting the aircraft’s operational profile over its advertised 3,600 nm range and cruise profiles appropriate to its class. Based on the registered owner’s Wilmington, Delaware location, routine operations, maintenance oversight and regulatory interactions are conducted within the U.S. registry framework. The combination of a VIP cabin, forward galley, aft lavatory and two living-area capability positions this specific airframe for long-range corporate and executive transport missions with attendant maintenance considerations tied to the twin Honeywell HTF7250G engines.

As a Gulfstream G280 airframe, this 2017-built example occupies the super-midsize business jet segment within Gulfstream’s product line, offering transcontinental capability out to its 3,600 nm range and high-altitude performance to 45,000 ft. The installed Honeywell HTF7250G powerplants and the PlaneView280™ avionics suite are material factors in operating economics, maintenance planning and valuation, and the recorded market value of $15,000,000 for this airframe reflects those installed systems and its relatively recent manufacture year. Ownership through a corporate trustee, as with WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, can influence resale process and transaction structures for prospective buyers or charter operators assessing this specific G280.
