James Dolan's Gulfstream lands in Los Angeles the week of the Knicks victory parade and data breach lawsuits

James Dolan's Gulfstream G650ER (N176KH) was tracked departing Las Vegas's Harry Reid International Airport at 21:54 UTC on June 26 and touching down at Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles 51 minutes later, after a low-altitude cruise at 22,000 feet.

If James Dolan was aboard, the timing would place him in Southern California the same week the New York Knicks — the NBA champions he owns — are scheduled for their victory parade in Manhattan, per a report from Sports Illustrated. The trip also comes as Madison Square Garden Entertainment, which Dolan chairs, faces at least five proposed class action lawsuits over an alleged data breach that hackers claimed exposed biometric and personal data from up to 26 million visitors, as covered by Front Office Sports.

The Las Vegas-to-Los Angeles leg follows a pattern of recent flights between the two cities, including a June 24 trip from the Chicago area to Las Vegas and a June 25 hop from the Bay Area to Las Vegas. The Sphere in Las Vegas, Dolan's immersive venue project, has been cited by Knicks front office members as a welcome distraction that allowed the team to flourish, per a report from Awful Announcing. Should James Dolan have been on board, the Los Angeles area offers proximity to both business interests and the entertainment industry that intersects with his Sphere ambitions.
