The Government of Punjab has reportedly acquired a 2019-manufactured Gulfstream GVII-G500, previously carrying FAA registration N144S, for VIP transport. The estimated transaction value ranges between $38–42 million. Open-source flight tracking data shows the aircraft operating with a “PUNJAB” callsign in recent weeks, and late-2025 job postings sought G500-rated pilots—suggesting planning was underway well before the public conversation ignited.
The seller’s material circulating online displays a standard G500 luxury configuration: leather seating, executive conference layout, and onboard galley. The aircraft’s long-range capability, high cruise speed, and 51,000-ft ceiling are typical of this class. Registry records cited in discussion list TVPX Aircraft Solutions Inc (Trustee), North Salt Lake, Utah, as registered owner under N-registration, pending export/deregistration formalities customary in cross-border transfers.
