John Travolta flies to Los Angeles as his directorial debut nears release

John Travolta flew from Westchester County Airport to the Los Angeles area early Saturday, May 23, arriving after a six-hour flight in his Boeing 737-300 BBJ. The trip follows his Cannes Film Festival appearance earlier this month, where he piloted his own plane to the premiere of his directorial debut.

The flight lands the same week Travolta's film "Propeller One-Way Night Coach" — an adaptation of his 1997 book, starring his daughter Ella Bleu — is set for global release on Apple TV on May 29, per Yahoo Entertainment. While in Los Angeles, Travolta is expected to engage in promotional activities ahead of the streaming debut.

The journey continues a recent pattern: Travolta flew from Cannes to New York via Shannon, Ireland, before heading west. His passion for aviation remains central to his public persona, as evidenced by his donation of a Boeing 707 to an Australian museum, which arrived by ship in Port Kembla earlier this month, as reported by ABC News.
