Diego Della Valle's Gulfstream G550 lands at Marche after a 40-minute hop from Milan

Diego Della Valle's Gulfstream G550, tail I-ADVD, flew from Milano Linate Airport (LIML) to Marche Airport (LIPY) on Sunday, November 1, 2026, a 40-minute trip that covered 208 nautical miles. The aircraft departed Segrate at 21:39 UTC and landed at Falconara Marittima at 22:19 UTC.

The flight reached a top altitude of 27,025 feet and a top ground speed of 451 knots, with an average ground speed of 310 knots. The Gulfstream G550 is an ultra-long-range jet with a range of 6,750 nautical miles, a ceiling of 51,000 feet, and seating for up to 19 passengers. The aircraft burned an estimated 274 US gallons of fuel and produced about 2,636 kilograms of CO2, roughly the same as driving a car 6,524 miles.

In the tracked window from August 17 to November 1, 2026, I-ADVD has landed at Falconara Marittima five times, with the last landing before this flight occurring on October 4, 28 days earlier. The aircraft's most common destination in that window was Segrate, with seven landings. Before this flight, the jet had been on the ground for about one hour after a previous tracked landing at Segrate on the same day. The longest leg in the 30 days before this flight was an 882-nautical-mile hop from Al Hoceima to Segrate on November 1.

Diego Della Valle, born 1953, turned his grandfather Filippo's shoemaking workshop in Casette d'Ete, in the Marche, into Tod's Group, the luxury house behind Tod's, Hogan, Roger Vivier and Fay. The Marche region is home to the Tod's factory in Casette d'Ete, making Falconara Marittima the closer airport to the company's headquarters. Della Valle also personally funded the roughly €25 million restoration of the Colosseum in 2011.

The jet landed within 184 nautical miles of the Altair III, a 59-meter motor yacht owned by Della Valle, as of an AIS fix logged 11 minutes before the flight's arrival. The vessel was at rest in the Ionian Sea. The proximity of the aircraft's arrival to the yacht's position is the strongest available explanation for the trip, though who boarded the jet is speculation.

The Gulfstream G550 is a GV-SP type, with over 617 in operation worldwide. Its top speed is Mach 0.885, or 488 knots. This flight used about 3 percent of the aircraft's range. The departure airport, Milano Linate, has a longest runway of 8,012 feet at an elevation of 353 feet. The arrival airport, Marche Airport, has a longest runway of 9,718 feet at an elevation of 49 feet. The distance from the home base on file to the arrival airport is 206 nautical miles.

In the tracked window from August 17 to November 1, 2026, the aircraft flew 17 flights. The most common destinations were Segrate, with 7 landings, and Falconara Marittima, with 5 landings. In the 30 days before this flight, the jet used 4 airports in 3 countries and flew about 1,248 nautical miles. Recent flights by the same owner include a 32-minute, 205-nautical-mile hop from Segrate to Falconara Marittima on October 4, 2026, and a 46-minute, 248-nautical-mile leg from Falconara Marittima to Olbia on September 5, 2026.

The flight is the third tracked for I-ADVD in the 30 days before November 1, totaling 3.2 hours in the air and about 12,632 kilograms of CO2. The aircraft remains at Marche Airport as of the last recorded position.
