Kim Kardashian's Gulfstream G650ER lands at Van Nuys after London departure

Kim Kardashian's Gulfstream G650ER, registered as N1980K, was tracked departing London Luton Airport on August 17 and arriving at Van Nuys Airport ten hours and one minute later, touching down just after 10:25 p.m. local time. The transatlantic crossing, cruising at a max altitude of 45,025 feet and ground speed of 504 knots, marks the aircraft's first recorded movement from Europe since an earlier flight from London on August 16.

If aboard, Kim Kardashian would be returning to her primary residence in Los Angeles's Hidden Hills neighborhood after a brief European stopover. The flight's timing coincides with the late summer period when her various business interests — including her Skims shapewear line, which holds an estimated $4–5 billion valuation per a Forbes report — often require her attention on the West Coast. According to celebrityprivatejettracker.com, Kim Kardashian's aircraft had been parked at Garfield County Regional Airport in Rifle, Colorado, for five months prior to this week's activity, making the recent sequence of flights notable.

The aircraft's flight history shows a pattern of long-haul repositioning in the days before the London departure. On August 15, was tracked from Kauai, Hawaii, to the Los Angeles area, and then to London on August 16. Prior to that, the jet had made shorter hops in August between Southern California and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and between Salt Lake City and Coeur d'Alene. These movements suggest a coordinated travel schedule rather than random repositioning.
