Fernando Alonso's Dassault Falcon 2000LX, registered as LX-SCO, landed at Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima, Peru, on Monday, November 2, 2026. The flight departed from Huánuco at 22:42 UTC and landed at the same time in Lima, covering a great-circle distance of 11 nautical miles, or 12 miles. The trip took a few minutes, with the aircraft reaching a top ground speed of 240 knots and a highest altitude of 6,675 feet.

The Falcon 2000LX is a midsize jet built for long-range flights, with a typical range of about 4,000 nautical miles and seating for up to 10 passengers.
