Private charter operator and aircraft management company, Planet Nine Private Air has added its tenth managed aircraft – an ultra-long-range Gulfstream GV.
The outfitted aircraft, offering a 6,200 nm range (up to 13 hours’ flying time), is Planet 9’s third Gulfstream model, joining a G650 and G550. Its cabin is fitted with 14 luxury passenger seats, plus a dedicated rest area for crew. In-flight entertainment is accessible via high-speed Air-Cell with passengers having the option to use their own devices to connect with the seven onboard Rosen slimline LCD monitors. With a significant baggage capacity of 226 cubic feet the aircraft can accommodate up to 25 medium sized suitcases.
“The addition of this remarkably high spec Gulfstream GV is an excellent way to round off what has been a successful year for us,” noted Matt Walter, cofounder and director of Business Development.
The Gulfstream GV will be based at Van Nuys Airport (VNY), California, where Gulfstream Aerospace has just opened a dedicated MRO facility, accommodated in a 43,000 square foot hangar and with a complementary US$30 million parts and materials inventory.
Planet 9 operates (and owns) five Dassault Falcon 7Xs. It also has a Gulfstream G550, Gulfstream G650 and Bombardier Global 5000 available for third party charter – all under management for private owners.
