Goldman Sachs Gulfstream G650ER lands at Teterboro after Berlin flight

Goldman Sachs's Gulfstream G650ER, tail number N650WS, landed at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at 16:10 UTC. The aircraft had departed Berlin Brandenburg Airport in Germany at 08:24 UTC. The flight took 7 hours and 46 minutes. It was the second transatlantic trip for this aircraft in two days.

The great-circle distance between Berlin and Teterboro is 3,451 nautical miles, or about 3,971 miles. The aircraft averaged a ground speed of 444 knots and reached a top speed of 565 knots. Its highest altitude during the flight was 43,025 feet. Celebplanes estimates the flight burned about 3,650 US gallons of jet fuel, producing roughly 35.1 metric tons of CO2. The Gulfstream G650ER is an ultra long range jet with a range of 7,500 nautical miles and a ceiling of 51,000 feet. It can seat up to 19 passengers.

This was the 11th landing by a Goldman Sachs aircraft at Teterboro in the 30 days before this flight. The last one was on October 18, two days earlier, also by N650WS. The bank's usual destinations include London Heathrow, San Francisco, Dubai, Hong Kong, Miami and Washington Dulles. In the 24 hours before this landing, other tracked aircraft arrived at Teterboro including a Bombardier Global 7500 linked to Jay-Z and Beyoncé, a Dassault Falcon 2000EX linked to Jimmy Haslam, a Gulfstream V linked to Caesars, a Cessna Citation Latitude linked to Truist Financial, a Dassault Falcon 7X linked to the Arizona Cardinals, and a Gulfstream G600 linked to Antonio Gracias.

Goldman Sachs is a global investment bank headquartered at 200 West Street in New York City. Its CEO is David Solomon. The bank operates a two aircraft fleet. Teterboro is the primary airport for private aviation serving the New York City area, where Goldman Sachs is based. A search of recent news did not find a public event or meeting tied to Goldman Sachs in New York on the day of this flight. The bank has not commented on the purpose of the trip.

The aircraft used 46 percent of its maximum range on this flight. Berlin Brandenburg's longest runway is 13,123 feet. Teterboro's longest runway is 6,997 feet. The most common destinations were Teterboro with 11 landings, Dulles with 4 landings, and Augusta with 2 landings.

If Goldman Sachs was aboard, the flight would have allowed executives to return to the New York area after time in Berlin. The aircraft had flown from Teterboro to Berlin the day before, on October 19, covering the same 3,451 nautical mile distance in 6 hours and 45 minutes. That round trip across the Atlantic in two days suggests active scheduling.

Before this trip, N650WS flew from Boston to Teterboro on October 18 in 51 minutes. On October 17 it flew from Augusta to Boston in 1 hour 34 minutes. On October 16 it flew from Oakland to Augusta in 4 hours 18 minutes. The other aircraft in the fleet, N280WS, flew from Augusta to Teterboro on October 16 in 1 hour 29 minutes and from Teterboro to Augusta on October 14 in 1 hour 40 minutes.

The Gulfstream G650ER is now on the ground at Teterboro. Its next departure is not yet tracked.
