N102JE 1999 Gulfstream IV-SP

Overview

The airframe bearing registration N102JE is a 1999-built Gulfstream G-IV SP with manufacturer serial number 1385, produced by Gulfstream Aerospace. The aircraft is owned by TVPX Aircraft Solutions Inc Trustee, a corporate owner based in North Salt Lake, UT, US, which serves as the operator/home base for this registry entry. The airframe’s public record highlights the corporate ownership structure rather than individual private ownership; this corporate trustee ownership is the principal notable registry item.

Operations & Cabin

This Gulfstream G-IV SP is fitted with a typical executive cabin described as a forward club, mid cabin conference area and an aft divan/stateroom, complemented by a full forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory; it is certified for up to 22 seats while common executive layouts accommodate 14-19 passengers. Operationally the airframe’s long-range capability of 4,220 nm and cruise of 460 kts suit transcontinental and transoceanic corporate charter or owner-flown missions emergent from its North Salt Lake, UT base. Maintenance and operational considerations are aligned with the twin Rolls-Royce TAY 611-8 engines’ support network and the large-cabin systems typical of late-1990s Gulfstream production. The corporate trustee ownership suggests utilization patterns consistent with charter management, fractional ownership, or corporate flight department operation.

Model & Market Context

The Gulfstream G-IV SP occupies a performance niche as a large-cabin, long-range business jet from Gulfstream Aerospace’s late-1990s production line, offering intercontinental capability and high-speed cruise for executive transport. Competing models in its era include other long-range large-cabin types, and buyer/charter demand typically emphasizes cabin comfort, range and reliability, attributes reflected in this airframe’s 4,220 nm range and Rolls-Royce powerplants. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1999 serial 1385 airframe focus on engine life, avionics modernization needs, and the impact of a corporate trustee owner on transferability and market perception.
