N988HK

The airframe bearing tail number N988HK is a Gulfstream GVI (G650ER) manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, completed in 2012 with serial number 6025. Current title records list the owner as BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and the aircraft is registered in the US. Public records do not list a distinct commercial operator or dedicated home base for this specific airframe; its trustee ownership suggests operation under corporate or charter arrangements rather than being owner-flown. No public registry actions, liens, or notable valuation events are documented for this serial in the available data.

N988HK carries a typical executive Gulfstream G650ER cabin configuration rated for 16–22 passengers; the exact interior specification for this serial is not publicly listed. The installed avionics suite is Gulfstream PlaneView II, supporting long-range, high-altitude operations and advanced flight-management capabilities tailored for intercontinental missions. With a design range of 7,500 nm and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft, missions typical for this airframe would include transoceanic executive transport, long-range business travel, and time-sensitive government or corporate relocation flights. Maintenance considerations align with large-cabin Gulfstream practices, including scheduled engine and avionics upkeep for the Rolls-Royce BR725 engines and PlaneView II systems; specific maintenance status for this aircraft is not publicly reported.

The Gulfstream GVI (G650ER) occupies the ultra-long-range, large-cabin market niche, prized for extended nonstop capabilities (here 7,500 nm) and high cruise speed (488 kts). Competing models in its class include extended-range versions of other large business jets, where buyers evaluate range, cabin size, speed, and operating economics. Demand among fractional, charter, and corporate buyers remains strong for G650ERs due to their performance envelope and brand recognition, but resale and maintenance considerations typically reflect the high cost of heavy-component maintenance, specialized avionics updates for PlaneView II, and the lifecycle management of Rolls-Royce BR725 powerplants.
