Coca-Cola's Gulfstream G600 N966RW lands at Marietta after 1-hour flight from Teterboro

The Coca-Cola Company's Gulfstream G600, tail number N966RW, landed at Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta, Georgia, on Saturday, October 31, 2026. The flight departed from Teterboro Airport at 21:59 UTC and touched down at 23:47 UTC, spending 1 hour and 48 minutes in the air.

The trip covered a great-circle distance of 655 nautical miles, or 753 miles. The aircraft flew at an average ground speed of 363 knots and reached a top speed of 488 knots. Its highest altitude was 43,000 feet. Based on our estimates, the flight burned about 793 US gallons of fuel and released about 7,622 kg of CO2, roughly the same as driving a car 18,867 miles. The Gulfstream G600 is an ultra long range jet with a range of 6,600 nm, a ceiling of 51,000 feet, and seating for up to 19 passengers.

This was the fourth landing at Marietta by any of Coca-Cola's three tracked aircraft in the window from October 19 to October 30. The last one was on October 28, when N890RW, another Gulfstream G600, landed there after a flight from Indiantown. The home base for Coca-Cola's fleet is Fulton County Airport Brown Field in Atlanta, just 8 nautical miles from Dobbins. In the 30 days before this flight, the owner's aircraft flew 13 flights totaling 29.1 hours in the air, with about 122,997 kg of CO2 emitted. The longest leg in that period was a 2,117 nm flight from Monterey to Richmond on October 22 by N886RW, another Gulfstream G600. Three other tracked aircraft landed at Marietta in the 24 hours before this landing: a Norfolk Southern Embraer Praetor 500 about 22 hours earlier, a Tyler Perry Embraer E-190 about 12 hours earlier, and a Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale Bombardier Challenger 600 about 11 hours earlier.

The Coca-Cola Company has been buying Gulfstreams since the 1960s, and its flight department operates from Fulton County Airport Brown Field on Atlanta's west side. The tail numbers on its aircraft carry company history: N966RW ends in RW for Robert W. Woodruff, who ran Coca-Cola from 1923 to 1954. The digits 966 do not match a date, but other aircraft in the fleet use numbers like 886 for 1886, the year the formula was created. Dobbins Air Reserve Base is near Coca-Cola's home base and is a common stop for corporate flights, but no specific reason tied to Coca-Cola was found in the news for this trip.

The Coca-Cola Company is a global beverage maker with customers in more than 200 countries. Its flight department operates three Gulfstream G600s, including N966RW, which is a 2024 airframe. The aircraft is registered to Bank of Utah Trustee, a standard arrangement that shields the owner's name from the public registry.

This flight from Teterboro to Marietta used about 10 percent of the aircraft's range. The plane is now at Dobbins Air Reserve Base.
