Larry Page flies to Chicago the week of a major Google antitrust hearing

Larry Page flew from Provo, Utah, to Chicago Midway International Airport on May 13, 2026, aboard a Gulfstream G650ER. The 2-hour 29-minute trip arrives the same week that U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta is expected to hear arguments on proposed remedies in the Justice Department’s antitrust case against Google, per a Bloomberg report from earlier this month. The case, which found Google illegally maintained a monopoly in search and text advertising, could force changes to the company’s distribution agreements — directly affecting Page’s remaining 26.3% voting stake.

The flight continues a pattern of short-haul trips from Page’s Utah base. In the past week, N618PB has shuttled between Provo, Phoenix, and Southern California, with no international legs. Page has been largely reclusive since stepping down as Alphabet CEO in 2019, but remains on the board and retains majority voting control alongside Sergey Brin. The Chicago stop — not a typical destination for Page — suggests a business purpose tied to the company’s ongoing legal battles rather than a personal visit.

Page’s fleet management company, Blue City Holdings, also handles aircraft for Brin and Eric Schmidt. The G650ER, registered to a trust linked to Page’s family office, has been based at Provo since Page shifted his residency out of California in late 2025, a move that saved him an estimated $12–14 billion in proposed state wealth taxes.
