The great-circle distance between Tokyo and Teterboro is 5,855 nautical miles, or about 6,738 miles. The aircraft averaged a ground speed of 503 knots and reached a top speed of 596 knots. Its highest altitude during the flight was 45,025 feet. Celebplanes estimates the flight burned about 5,476 US gallons of jet fuel, producing roughly 52.6 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 November 2, two days earlier, by the Gulfstream G280. 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 Gulfstream V linked to Caesars, a Bombardier Global Express linked to Mark Wahlberg, a Gulfstream G550 linked to James Dolan, a Gulfstream G650 linked to Ronald Perelman, a Gulfstream G550 linked to Marc Anthony, and a Gulfstream IV SP linked to Alex Rodriguez.

The longest leg in that period was Newark to Abu Dhabi on October 27, covering 5,962 nautical miles. That flight was also on N650WS. The bank's other aircraft, a Gulfstream G280, flew from Teterboro to Oakland on November 3 and from Van Nuys to Teterboro on November 2.

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 78 percent of its maximum range on this flight. Tokyo Haneda's longest runway is 11,024 feet. Teterboro's longest runway is 6,997 feet. The most common destinations in the tracked window were Teterboro with 10 landings, Van Nuys with 3 landings, and Augusta with 2 landings.

The aircraft had flown from London to Rome on October 31, covering 792 nautical miles in 1 hour and 56 minutes. On October 29, it flew from Abu Dhabi to London, a 2,972-nautical-mile leg lasting 7 hours and 22 minutes. Those flights were also on N650WS.

If Goldman Sachs was aboard, the flight would have allowed executives to return to the New York area after time in Tokyo. The aircraft had flown from Hong Kong to Tokyo the day before, on November 3, covering 1,570 nautical miles in 3 hours and 15 minutes. That round trip across the Pacific suggests active scheduling.
