Larry Ellison flew from Panda Airport on the island of Lanai to Daniel K. Inouye International Airport on Oahu on June 2, 2026, at 6:12 p.m. local time. The 25-minute hop in his Gulfstream G650, tail number N817GS, covered roughly 100 miles at a modest 9,950 feet — a short island transfer that bypassed commercial ferry schedules and commercial flights entirely.

The timing aligns with the Pacific Tech Summit, an annual conference hosted this week at the Hawaii Convention Center, where Ellison is listed as a keynote speaker per the event’s official program. The summit focuses on cloud infrastructure and enterprise AI, two areas where Oracle has aggressively expanded under Ellison’s direction. He also owns approximately 98 percent of Lanai and maintains a residence there, but his itinerary this week keeps him on Oahu for the conference engagements.

The flight fits a pattern: Ellison’s Gulfstream has made 50 trips this year that began or ended in Florida, but this week marks only his second visit to Hawaii from the mainland in 2026. The June 1 flight from Palm Beach County to Kapalua preceded the Lanai-to-Honolulu leg, suggesting he is spending several days at the summit before likely returning to the mainland later this week.
