One of the two Government aircraft will not be replaced when it reaches the end of its operational lifespan.

Government Air Transport
Since 2008, the Government had three aircraft at its disposal. The Beechcraft has been decommissioned. The Gulfstream jet is at the end of its operational lifespan. The Government has no plans to replace or repair this aircraft. The remaining Lear jet is a smaller aircraft which will continue to be used by Ministers travelling to Europe on essential government
business.

How many hours has the GIV left?

"The Gulfstream jet is at the end of its operational lifespan"

I wonder does this now mean that the GIV will be withdrawn asap?
