Larry Page's 2022 Gulfstream G650ER, registered as N618PB, touched down at Provo Municipal Airport early on May 5, 2026, wrapping up a 1-hour-12-minute hop from the Los Angeles area. Departing around 2:22 a.m. Pacific time from coordinates near Hawthorne, the jet climbed to 45,025 feet and hit a peak ground speed of 621.6 knots before landing at 3:34 a.m. Mountain time. This routine return to his Utah home base follows a pattern of quick West Coast excursions for the reclusive co-founder of Google.

Page, who holds about 26.3% voting power in Alphabet and boasts a net worth exceeding $300 billion as of April 2026, has minimized public appearances since relinquishing CEO duties in 2019. His late-2025 relocation of business entities to Florida and Delaware—capped by $173.4 million in Miami real estate purchases—sidestepped California's looming 5% wealth tax, averting a $12-14 billion hit. Yet, flights like this one suggest California retains pull, perhaps for informal tech dealings in a state Alphabet still calls home.

Managed by Blue City Holdings for Page, Sergey Brin, and Eric Schmidt, the G650ER fleet enables such low-key travel to spots like Miami, San Jose, Fiji, New Zealand, and Austin. The prior day's leg from near Santa Barbara to Los Angeles hints at a compressed itinerary, underscoring how billionaires like Page navigate their empires with swift, private efficiency—far from the boardrooms they once dominated.
