Insider Note
Heavy jets represent the most active segment in the pre-owned market. Well-maintained Gulfstream Miscellaneous airframes with low hours and current inspections trade quickly. N612FA's 2009 build year and continuous airworthiness record are the data points buyers evaluate first.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
N612FA is a 2009 Gulfstream registered to . The G200/G280/G150 family traces back to IAI's Astra program in Israel. Here is the operational context.
Fleet Position
Over 500 Astra/G100/G150/G200/G280 aircraft were produced. FAA data shows N612FA based in —, . These aircraft carry the Gulfstream brand, service network, and resale premium while competing at super-midsize price points against the Challenger 350 and Citation Longitude.
Charter Availability
N612FA is Part 135 charter authorized. G200/G280 charter rates range from $4,500 to $6,500 per flight hour. The Gulfstream name attracts charter clients who associate the brand with quality, even though these aircraft are manufactured by IAI in Israel rather than Gulfstream in Savannah.
Market Position
N612FA is a 2009 Gulfstream G200 or G150. The G200 (PW306A engines, 3,400 nm range) competes with the Challenger 350 at lower acquisition cost. The G150 (TFE731 engines, 2,950 nm range) serves as a mid-light jet with Gulfstream branding. Pre-owned values range from $3M to $8M.
The G200 represents strong value: Gulfstream brand equity, 3,400 nm transcontinental range, and a wide cabin at acquisition costs 30 to 50% below a Challenger 350. For flight departments that value the Gulfstream service network, the G200 is the most affordable entry point.
Mission Profile
The G200/G280 handles transcontinental and transatlantic routes. New York to Los Angeles in 4 hours 30 minutes. The G280's 3,600 nm range reaches western Europe nonstop from the East Coast. Miami to London with one quick stop. The cabin seats 8 to 10 with a full galley and enclosed lavatory.
When to Choose Something Else
Pass on the G200/G280 if speed is the priority. At Mach 0.80, the G280 matches the Longitude but falls behind the Challenger 350 (Mach 0.83). On coast-to-coast routes, the speed difference is 15 to 20 minutes.
Ownership & Operations
Aircraft management companies handle the operational complexity of jet ownership. They provide crew, maintenance tracking, regulatory compliance, insurance, and hangar coordination. Management fees run $8,000 to $25,000 per month depending on aircraft size. For owners who fly 100 to 300 hours annually, professional management reduces risk and administrative burden while maintaining access to Part 135 charter revenue.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Engine program enrollment significantly affects aircraft value and operating economics. Programs like Rolls-Royce CorporateCare, Pratt & Whitney Eagle Service Plan, and Honeywell MSP spread major engine costs into predictable hourly rates. Aircraft enrolled in these programs command 10 to 20% higher resale values than non-enrolled equivalents because buyers avoid the risk of unbudgeted engine overhauls.
