Drake flies from Ohio to Houston the weekend of the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix

Drake flew from Kelleys Island Land Field in Ohio to William P. Hobby Airport in Houston on June 19, a 2-hour-40-minute hop aboard his Boeing 767-200ER, N767CJ. The flight landed just after midnight on June 20, the same weekend the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix draws celebrities and athletes to Montreal, a city where Drake has long maintained ties.

Per a report by MARCA on June 23, Drake arrived in Montreal ahead of the Grand Prix weekend aboard his massive “Air Drake” jet. Flight history from celebplanes shows the aircraft traveled from Toronto to Montreal on May 25, suggesting that trip was the Grand Prix visit, not this one. The June 19 leg instead deposits Drake in Houston the week his triple-album campaign for "Iceman," "Habibti," and "Maid of Honour" — covered by Consequence on May 15 — remains in the cultural conversation.

The Houston arrival follows a pattern of short repositioning flights and regional hops that have drawn scrutiny before. In July 2022, a 14-minute Air Drake flight from Hamilton to Toronto sparked criticism, with Drake calling it a storage move rather than a passenger trip, per AeroCorner. This flight, while longer, coincides with no major Houston event on the public calendar — another logistical move, or a quiet business stop, for a rapper whose aircraft remains one of the most recognizable in private aviation.
