Carlos Slim's Gulfstream G650 arrives back in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo after a brief flight

Carlos Slim's Gulfstream G650, tail number XA-CLR, was tracked departing Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo International Airport on June 27, 2026, and returning to the same airport less than a minute later, with a maximum altitude of just 325 feet and a ground speed of 126.1 knots. The aircraft movement appears to be a local repositioning or a brief maintenance hop rather than a significant journey.

If Carlos Slim was aboard, the flight would coincide with no major public event in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo this week; the billionaire businessman is known to maintain a residential property in the Zihuatanejo area, per his established pattern of regional travel. The proximity to his home base in Toluca and frequent visits to Pacific coast destinations suggest this was likely a routine movement.

Recent flight data shows Carlos Slim's Gulfstream G650 has been active across Mexico and the southeastern U.S. in June, including a June 22 trip to Savannah, Georgia (near Gulfstream Aerospace headquarters) and several hops between Mexico City, Guadalajara, and coastal resorts. The aircraft's G650 primary jet, XA-CLR, is typically used for longer-range travel, but this brief local movement fits within a normal pattern of maintenance checks or crew repositioning.
