On May 6, 2026, Max Verstappen's Dassault Falcon 900EX, tail number PH-DTF, arrived at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport following a departure from Malta International near Valletta. The 2-hour-45-minute flight reached a maximum altitude of 40,025 feet and hit a ground speed of 489.3 knots, covering the route efficiently under Dutch registry. As a frequent flyer on this aircraft, Max Verstappen touched down at his home base EHAM, a hub among his recurring destinations like Nice and Rotterdam.

Max Verstappen, the Dutch Formula 1 driver and four-time world champion with Red Bull Racing, maintains Monaco as his base but often returns to the Netherlands for personal and professional reasons. This landing aligns with patterns seen in his travel history, though the Maltese origin adds an unusual twist—perhaps a short break after the Miami Grand Prix weekend of May 1-4, where he claimed a podium finish. No prior flights for PH-DTF are on record, marking this as a notable entry in tracking the champion's movements.

With the Canadian Grand Prix looming on May 22-24 and his confirmed entry in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring from May 14-17, Max Verstappen's return to Amsterdam suggests preparations for the endurance race on the Nordschleife. The wry efficiency of his Falcon underscores the blend of high-speed life on and off the track, even as Amsterdam buzzes with concerts like RÜFÜS DU SOL at Ziggo Dome that evening.
