Jeff Bezos's Gulfstream G700 N11AF flies Miami to Van Nuys in 4 hours 51 minutes

Jeff Bezos's Gulfstream G700, tail N11AF, departed Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (KOPF) at 15:35 UTC on Friday, October 30, 2026, and landed at Van Nuys Airport (KVNY) in California at 20:25 UTC. The flight took 4 hours and 51 minutes.

The great-circle distance between the two airports is 2,035 nautical miles (2,342 miles). The aircraft averaged a ground speed of 420 knots and reached a top speed of 504 knots at a highest altitude of 47,025 feet. The G700 has a range of 7,750 nautical miles and a top speed of Mach 0.935. It can seat up to 19 passengers and has a ceiling of 51,000 feet. The flight burned an estimated 2,227 gallons of fuel, producing about 21.4 metric tons of CO2, roughly the same as driving a car 52,961 miles.

In the 30 days before this flight, all four aircraft in Jeff Bezos's fleet made 40 tracked flights, from August 22 to October 29, 2026. This is the first tracked landing by any of the owner's aircraft at Van Nuys in that window. The most common destinations in that period were Lafayette (11 landings) and Miami (7 landings). The aircraft had been on the ground for about 8 days before this flight, following a previous tracked landing on October 22 at Miami. Other tracked aircraft at Van Nuys in the 24 hours before this landing included Kim Kardashian's Gulfstream G650ER, a Goldman Sachs Gulfstream G280, and Travis Scott's Embraer E-190.

Jeff Bezos is the executive chairman of Amazon and founder of Blue Origin. The flight's arrival at KVNY places the aircraft near the Los Angeles area, where Bezos owns a home in Beverly Hills. Van Nuys Airport is a common general aviation hub for the region, serving as a gateway to the broader Los Angeles basin. No public events or appearances tied to Bezos or his companies were reported in the area on the day of the flight.

The G700 is the newest and largest aircraft in Jeff Bezos's fleet, delivered in July 2024. It is the 20th G700 off the production line and has a cabin with five living areas. The flight used 26 percent of the aircraft's maximum range.

The G700 burns an estimated 460 US gallons of fuel per hour. The longest leg flown by any of Bezos's four aircraft in the 30 days before this flight was a 4,160-nautical-mile trip from Kailua-Kona to Miami on October 11, 2026, also in the G700.

The aircraft departed from Miami-Opa Locka Executive, which has a longest runway of 8,002 feet and sits at an elevation of 8 feet. It landed at Van Nuys Airport, which has a runway of 8,001 feet at an elevation of 802 feet.

Bezos owns two yachts, the 127-meter sailing yacht Koru and the 75-meter motor yacht Abeona. As of a fix logged about 10 minutes ago, both vessels were in the Solomon Sea, far from this flight. Neither yacht was near the departure or arrival airports.
