Frank Lowy's Gulfstream G700 flies from Larnaca to Tel Aviv in 39 minutes

Frank Lowy's Gulfstream G700, tail number N720LF, flew from Larnaca International Airport in Cyprus to Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv, Israel, on Monday, October 26, 2026. The flight departed at 10:04 UTC and landed at 10:43 UTC, spending 39 minutes in the air. The aircraft covered a great-circle distance of 186 nautical miles, or 214 miles, at an average ground speed of 288 knots. Its top ground speed reached 432 knots, and it climbed to a highest altitude of 27,000 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 39-minute flight consumed an estimated 277 gallons. That produced about 2,664 kilograms of CO2, roughly the same as driving a car 6,595 miles.

This was N720LF's sixth landing at Tel Aviv in the tracked period; the previous one was on October 9, 2026, 17 days earlier. Over the past 30 days, the aircraft made three flights totaling 11.9 hours and visited four airports in three 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. The aircraft had been on the ground in Larnaca for about six days before this flight.

Frank Lowy is the co-founder of Westfield, an Australian shopping center company. The short hop to Tel Aviv used only 2 percent of the aircraft's maximum range. No public events or appearances tied to Lowy were found in Israel around this date. The aircraft's flight history shows it has used Tel Aviv as a frequent base, with six landings there in the tracked window.

In the 30 days before this flight, the aircraft visited four airports in three countries and flew about 5,731 nautical miles. The previous tracked flight was a 36-minute hop from Tel Aviv to Larnaca on October 20, 2026, covering 181 nautical miles.

Frank Lowy also owns the 74-meter yacht Ilona, built in 2003. As of a fix logged 24 minutes ago, AIS tracking via our partner site celebyachts.com showed the vessel at rest in the Ligurean Sea. That position is 1,955 nautical miles from Tel Aviv and 1,841 nautical miles from Larnaca.

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