Frank Lowy's Gulfstream G700 flies Tel Aviv to Larnaca in 36 minutes

Frank Lowy's Gulfstream G700, tail number N720LF, flew from Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv, Israel, to Larnaca International Airport in Cyprus on Tuesday, October 20, 2026. The flight departed at 09:07 UTC and landed at 09:43 UTC, spending just 36 minutes in the air. The aircraft covered a great-circle distance of 181 nautical miles, or 208 miles, at an average ground speed of 301 knots. Its top ground speed reached 431 knots, and it climbed to a highest altitude of 26,000 feet.

The Gulfstream G700 is the largest model in Gulfstream's lineup, with five living areas and a cabin certified in 2023. Ben Gurion International Airport's longest runway stretches 13,327 feet at an elevation of 135 feet. Larnaca International Airport's longest runway is 9,823 feet at an elevation of 8 feet.

The Gulfstream G700 is an ultra long range jet with a maximum range of 7,750 nautical miles, a top speed of Mach 0.935, and a service ceiling of 51,000 feet. It typically seats 12 passengers and can accommodate up to 19. The aircraft burns about 430 US gallons of fuel per hour, so this 36-minute flight consumed an estimated 258 gallons. That produced about 2,480 kilograms of CO2, roughly the same as driving a car 6,138 miles.

This was N720LF's second landing at Larnaca in the tracked period; the previous one was on July 20, 2026, 92 days earlier. Over the past 30 days, the aircraft made two flights totaling 11.3 hours and visited three airports in two countries. Its most common destinations in recent months have been Tel Aviv, Budapest, and Teterboro. The longest leg in that window was the 4,926-nautical-mile trip from Teterboro to Tel Aviv on October 8.

In the 30 days before this flight, the aircraft visited three airports in two countries and flew about 5,550 nautical miles. The aircraft made 22 tracked flights from July 10, 2026, to October 8, 2026.

Larnaca is a coastal city in Cyprus, about 180 nautical miles from Tel Aviv, and is a common stop for private aircraft traveling between Europe and the Middle East. No public events or appearances tied to Lowy were found in Cyprus around this date. The aircraft had been on the ground in Tel Aviv for about 11 days before this flight.

No owned vessel was near this flight. The aircraft's flight history shows it has used Tel Aviv as a frequent base, with six landings there in the tracked window. The short hop to Larnaca used only 2 percent of the aircraft's maximum range.

Frank Lowy also owns the 74-meter yacht Ilona, built in 2003. As of a fix logged 19 minutes ago, the yacht was at rest in the Ligurean Sea, about 1,841 nautical miles from Larnaca and 1,955 nautical miles from Tel Aviv.

This was a brief regional movement for a jet built for intercontinental travel. The aircraft remains at Larnaca as of the last tracked signal.
