N996GA is a 2000 Gulfstream GV, registered to Ab Jet CO Iv LLC of Metairie, LA. It works in JOURNEY AVIATION's floating charter fleet: on the Part 135 certificate (UJ8A), and positioned wherever the next trip starts rather than kept at one airport. In the twelve months to 7 September 2026 it flew 133 legs on 73 days, about 87,440 nautical miles. That is close to the median for a Gulfstream GV in U.S. charter service (55 airframes tracked, median 170 legs). It touched 56 airports but keeps returning to the same city pairs: 61% of legs repeat a route already flown in the year.
