5N-BOD Aircraft Overview
5N-BOD is a Gulfstream Aerospace Gulfstream GIV registered in Nigeria with serial number 1126. This heavy-cabin jet operates in the wide-body segment of business aviation, positioned between super-midsize platforms and ultra-long-range flagships. The aircraft is associated with Skybird Air, registered through the NCAA.
Gulfstream GIV Market Position
The Gulfstream IV and IV-SP built Gulfstream's reputation in the heavy jet market across nearly two decades of production from 1987 to 2003. Over 530 were delivered. The GIV-SP variant added performance improvements including higher gross weights. The type remains widely operated, with a robust MRO and parts support network.
Performance Profile
The Gulfstream GIV delivers 476-knot cruise speeds with a maximum range of 4220 nautical miles under standard fuel reserves. That range covers most transcontinental routes nonstop and select transatlantic pairings with favorable winds. Power comes from 2x Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8. The 45,000-foot ceiling provides routing flexibility above airline corridors and most icing layers.
Mission Profile
Heavy jets are the workhorses of corporate flight departments and head-of-state operations. The Gulfstream GIV accommodates up to 16 passengers in a cabin configured for meetings, rest, and extended travel. Baggage capacity and galley provisions support multi-day trips without the logistical constraints of smaller platforms.

Insider Note
Heavy jets carry higher repositioning costs than midsize aircraft. If the aircraft is based far from your departure airport, a deadhead leg adds significant cost. Inquire about one-way availability or empty-leg positioning to reduce the total trip expense.
