Zeusch Aviation (SUZ, Lelystad) is planning to re-register a GIV to its fleet and start its operations in the first quarter of 2025 once maintenance in the United States is done, Accountable Manager Marco Rietvelt told ch-aviation.
N400ZU (msn 1009) was registered in the United States on September 5, 2024, and ferried from Basel/Mulhouse/Freiburg, CH via Amsterdam Schiphol, Reykjavik Keflavik, and Washington Dulles, to Carrollton, GA on September 19-20. It remains parked at Carrollton.
The aircraft is in the United States for modification and will return to the Netherlands as PH-ZUZ in early 2025.
Zeusch Aviation bought the aircraft in mid-2023 after it was retired by the Royal Netherlands Air Force. The 37.7-year-old jet was registered as PH-ZUZ and ferried to Basel for maintenance in July 2023, and has not operated commercially for Zeusch Aviation as yet.
It will be the Dutch operator's only Gulfstream Aerospace aircraft and only jet. Zeusch Aviation operates a fleet of 11 aircraft, of which two are Beech (twin turboprop) King Air C90As, seven are King Air B200s, and two are Extra 300s. Zeusch specialises in private charters, surveillance, relay, grid mapping, and medevac flights.
