Kim Kardashian landed N1980K at Van Nuys Airport just after 10:30 p.m. on June 17, completing a one-hour flight from an over-ocean position west of the California coast. The Gulfstream G650ER touched down at her home base after a longer, multi-hop journey that began in Europe.

The timing lines up with a well-documented public appearance. Kardashian spent the previous week in Monte Carlo attending the Monaco Grand Prix, where her boyfriend Lewis Hamilton finished second, per a report from the Daily Mail. She was photographed cheering from the crowds alongside her sister Khloe, exchanged a kiss with Hamilton after the podium ceremony, and the couple drew attention for their first public display of affection. The Grand Prix, held June 7, was the headline event.

The trip fits a known pattern: Kardashian frequently uses her Gulfstream for transatlantic visits, including a reported earlier flight to see Hamilton in the UK, as detailed by Private Jet Insider. Her jet, nicknamed Kim Air, underwent a reported $55 million interior overhaul. This specific run — departing the Nice area, a brief stop near the UK, then back to Van Nuys — is the kind of long-range mission the G650ER was built to fly, and that she flies often.
