Does anybody know what happed with SP-FMG E35L biz jet s/n14501102 hex 489586. The last flight was in 30th of Oct 2023 to ISL as JDI50E. I heard it was sold by Jet Story. I tried to find it later using many searching keys, but with no results - no further tracking records. Is it decommissioned?

Gulfstream failed to meet its 2024 aircraft delivery goal
due to factors including supplier quality problems
and shortages of the Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 turbofans
that power the new ultra-long-range G700 business jet, according to the company.

R-R, however, insists its Pearl 700 deliveries have been on time.

Savannah-based Gulfstream delivered 136 aircraft in 2024,
short of its goal of 150 deliveries,
Gulfstream parent General Dynamics reported on 29 January 2025.
