Lawrence Stroll's Bombardier Global 7500 makes 26-minute hop from Brize Norton to Farnborough

Lawrence Stroll's Bombardier Global 7500, tail number OE-LSS, flew from RAF Brize Norton in Carterton, Oxfordshire, to Farnborough Airport in Farnborough, Hampshire, on Thursday, October 29, 2026. The aircraft departed at 13:09 UTC and landed at 13:35 UTC, spending 26 minutes in the air. The jet is registered in Austria and managed by Skyemotion, and its tail letters match the owner's initials.

The great-circle distance between the two airports was 39 nautical miles, or 45 miles. The aircraft averaged a ground speed of 90 knots and reached a highest altitude of 7,000 feet. Celebplanes estimates the flight burned about 195 US gallons of fuel and produced about 1,874 kg of CO2, roughly the same as driving a car 4,640 miles. The Global 7500 is an ultra long range jet with a range of 7,700 nautical miles, a top speed of Mach 0.925, and seating for up to 19 passengers.

The departure airport, RAF Brize Norton, has a longest runway of 10,007 feet and sits at an elevation of 288 feet. The arrival airport, Farnborough, has a longest runway of 8,005 feet and an elevation of 238 feet.

Before this flight, the aircraft had landed at Farnborough six times in the tracked window of 40 flights from September 8 to October 25, 2026. Its most common destinations in that period were Carterton, Oxfordshire, with eight landings, and Farnborough and Payerne, each with six landings. The aircraft had been on the ground for about three days before this flight, following a previous tracked landing at Carterton on October 26. Other tracked aircraft that landed at Farnborough in the 24 hours before this landing included a Bombardier Global 6500 linked to Nicky Oppenheimer, about 20 hours earlier, and a Gulfstream G600 linked to INEOS, about 19 hours earlier.

In the 30 days before this flight, the aircraft visited 20 airports in 9 countries and flew about 25,059 nautical miles. It completed 22 flights totaling 61.4 hours in the air. Celebplanes estimates those flights produced about 265,543 kilograms of CO2. The longest leg in that period was from Hettstadt to Seletar on October 7, covering 5,501 nautical miles.

Lawrence Stroll is a Canadian billionaire fashion investor who led the 2018 consortium that bought Force India and rebranded it Racing Point, then Aston Martin Aramco F1, where he is executive chairman. He is the father of Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll and is based in Monaco and Mont-Tremblant, Quebec. He owns the Circuit Mont-Tremblant and one of the world's most valuable Ferrari collections. The aircraft's movements often follow the F1 calendar, and Farnborough is a key business aviation hub near London, where Stroll's team has its headquarters.

The flight used about 1 percent of the aircraft's total range. The top ground speed recorded was 241 knots. The Bombardier Global 7500 has a service ceiling of 51,000 feet and a cabin length of 54.4 feet with four living zones.
