Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N989BA is a Gulfstream-built super-midsize business jet of model Gulfstream G280 produced to a design originally by IAI/Israel Aerospace Industries and manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace. The airplane was built in 2012 and carries manufacturer serial 2017. Registry records list the owner as CSC Delaware Trust Co Trustee, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US, and the aircraft retains a United States registration. Documentation notes the cabin as registry-reported with 21 seats; the airframe is valued at approximately $11,000,000 on current records.
The registered cabin layout for N989BA includes a forward galley, executive seating configured per registry to 21 seats, and an aft lavatory, with up to two living areas available depending on interior arrangement. Avionics are listed as Gulfstream PlaneView280™, supporting typical Gulfstream communication, navigation, and flight-management functionality for the model. Operational range and cruise performance position this specific airframe for transcontinental U.S. missions and extended point-to-point business travel; documented cruise and ceiling figures support high-speed, high-altitude enroute profiles. As a trust-owned corporate asset, the aircraft’s management, crewing and base of operations are determined by the trustee’s appointed operator and are not detailed in the registry excerpts.
The Gulfstream G280 occupies the super-midsize business-jet niche, offering long-range capability with faster, higher cruise performance compared with many light jets while remaining more cost-effective to operate than larger long-range Gulfstream types. Competitors in the segment include other super-midsize and large-cabin twins offering similar ranges and payloads; buyer and charter demand typically focuses on combination of cabin comfort for extended missions and efficient operating economics. For this particular airframe, resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine HTF7250G lifecycle status, avionics configuration (PlaneView280™) and cabin certification/condition, with the recorded valuation of $11,000,000 reflecting those cumulative factors.
