State Farm's six-flight day, Birla's transatlantic, and the jet set heads to Teterboro

777.9 tonnes of CO₂. That’s the aggregate carbon footprint of yesterday’s 165 completed flights—enough to circle the Earth 80 times in a Gulfstream G650. Across 217.9 hours airborne, 84,609 miles were logged, with State Farm emerging as the day’s top mover at six flights and 16.6 hours aloft. Saudi Aramco’s lone sortie (N801XA, King Abdul Aziz Military Academy to King Fahd International) punched above its weight as the day’s biggest single-source emitter at 53.3t. The destination heat spot? Teterboro (KTEB), which drew six arrivals—a tell that New York remained the gravitational centre for both finance and celebrity transit.

Its flight ID is 9748, its tail VT-BRS, and its itinerary reads like a century-old map of empire: Juhu Aerodrome to London Luton Airport. Kumar Mangalam Birla’s Bombardier Global 6000 spent 9.4 hours crossing the Arabian Sea, the Persian Gulf, and the spine of Europe before settling onto Luton’s runway. The Indian billionaire—chair of the Aditya Birla Group—has long used this transcontinental corridor for board meetings, acquisitions, and family stops. Yesterday’s direct flight, with no fuel stop in the Gulf, underscores the nonstop capability of the Global 6000 and the urgency behind the journey. No public agenda was released for this particular leg, but the timing aligns with the Group’s ongoing European expansion in metals and telecom.

Paris Hilton logged two flights yesterday on her Gulfstream G550 N11PH: a 5.9-hour hop from Murphy-Sherwood Park, Alberta to Van Nuys (likely a return from a Canadian appearance), followed by an 8.5-hour transcontinental from Nice to Portsmouth, New Hampshire—a rare direct routing that suggests either a private event or a property visit on the Seacoast. Meanwhile, State Farm split its fleet across two long hauls: N44SF flew from an airfield in Avinyonet, Spain to Oakland Troy, Michigan (8.0h), while N76SF departed Barcelona for Sarnia’s Chris Hadfield Airport (7.9h). The pair of flights hints at a senior delegation returning from European reinsurance meetings to the insurer’s Midwestern headquarters. Also in the air: Andrew Forrest’s VH-FMG landed at Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport after 6.5 hours out of an undisclosed origin—the Australian mining billionaire often uses this Polish gateway for his green hydrogen investments in the Baltic.

Per our own reporting [celebplanes.com](https://www.celebplanes.com/articles/citigroup-flight-9069), Citigroup’s Global 6000 N1812C arrived in Kuala Lumpur on June 19 after a stopover in Athens—CEO Jane Fraser’s Southeast Asian swing appears to be ongoing, and the aircraft could reposition today toward Singapore or Jakarta. Elon Musk’s N272BG landed at Moffett Federal Airfield two days ago after a week of legal setbacks for xAI; with a SpaceX launch window opening tomorrow at Cape Canaveral, his Gulfstream may head south again this afternoon. Meanwhile, the JPMorgan Chase fleet logged its last tracked flight on May 22 (N661CH returning to Westchester from Warsaw) [celebplanes.com](https://www.celebplanes.com/celebrity/jpmorgan-chase), but with Jamie Dimon scheduled to speak at a financial conference in Frankfurt on June 26, a Teterboro departure may be imminent.

A single flight currently airborne: tail unknown, but the day’s longest active track is expected to land in the next hour—either a Saudi Aramco shuttle to Dhahran or a European return leg for one of yesterday’s eastbound jets. The desk’s prediction engine scored 56 out of 115 yesterday; today’s 16-hour window will test whether the algorithm can improve on that 49% hit rate.
