AT&T's Gulfstream G600 N1876T returns to Dallas from Cologne in 9 hours

AT&T's Gulfstream G600, tail number N1876T, landed at Dallas Love Field on Friday, October 23, 2026, completing a flight from Cologne Bonn Airport in Germany. The aircraft departed Cologne at 12:37 UTC and touched down in Dallas at 21:41 UTC, spending 9 hours and 4 minutes in the air. The flight covered a great-circle distance of 4,382 nautical miles, or 5,042 miles.

The Gulfstream G600 is an ultra-long-range jet with a top speed of Mach 0.925 and a service ceiling of 51,000 feet. On this trip, the aircraft reached a highest altitude of 40,025 feet and a top ground speed of 550 knots, with an average ground speed of 483 knots. Celebplanes estimates the flight burned about 3,988 US gallons of fuel, producing roughly 38,315 kilograms of CO2, equivalent to driving a car 94,839 miles. The G600 has a maximum range of 6,600 nautical miles and can seat up to 19 passengers, though it typically carries 10.

This flight was the second landing at Dallas Love Field by an AT&T aircraft in the tracked window. The previous Dallas arrival was three days earlier, on October 20, when N1885T, another Gulfstream G600, landed from Brunswick. Dallas is AT&T's home base, and the most common destination for the company's two tracked aircraft in the past 30 days. Before this trip, N1876T had flown from Stockholm to Cologne earlier on October 23, and from Dallas to Stockholm on October 21. Other aircraft that landed at Dallas in the 24 hours before this arrival included a Gulfstream V operated by Caesars, a Gulfstream V operated by Jerry Jones, and a Bombardier Global 6000 operated by Arthur Blank.

AT&T runs its flight department out of Dallas Love Field, a few miles from the Whitacre Tower headquarters downtown. The company's aircraft are registered to a series of numbered Delaware-style shells, including Transportation Holdings V LLC for N1885T and Transportation Holdings VI LLC for N1876T. Both aircraft are caption-confirmed to AT&T. The company also has three other airframes on the same registrant family, including a 2026 Gulfstream G500 and two Gulfstream G550s that previously caption as Warner Bros.

Cologne Bonn Airport is a major European hub and the home of Cologne Bonn Airport's cargo and business aviation operations. AT&T has extensive business interests in Europe, including its international network and services division. The flight from Cologne to Dallas is a common route for corporate aircraft returning from European business trips.

The flight from Cologne used 66 percent of the Gulfstream G600's maximum range. Cologne Bonn Airport has a longest runway of 12,516 feet at an elevation of 302 feet. Dallas Love Field's longest runway is 8,800 feet at 487 feet elevation.

AT&T's two tracked aircraft have made five flights in the tracked window from October 18 to October 23. The longest leg in that period was N1876T's Dallas to Stockholm flight on October 21, covering 4,392 nautical miles. Before this trip, N1876T had spent about four hours on the ground in Cologne after arriving from Stockholm.

The flight ended at AT&T's home base, where the aircraft remains. No further flights have been tracked for N1876T since its arrival.
