Lawrence Stroll's Global 7500 flies from Val-Cenis to Payerne in 45 minutes

Lawrence Stroll's Bombardier Global 7500, tail number OE-LSS, flew from Sollières Sardières Airfield in Val-Cenis, France, to Payerne Air Base in Switzerland on Saturday, October 31, 2026. The aircraft departed at 11:28 UTC and landed at 12:12 UTC, spending 45 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 240 nautical miles, or 276 miles. The aircraft averaged a ground speed of 322 knots and reached a highest altitude of 30,000 feet. Celebplanes estimates the flight burned about 335 US gallons of fuel and produced about 3,221 kg of CO2, roughly the same as driving a car 7,972 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.

Before this flight, the aircraft had landed at Payerne seven times in the tracked window of 40 flights from September 10 to October 30, 2026. Its most common destinations in that period were Payerne, with seven landings, and Farnborough and Carterton, each with six landings. The aircraft had been on the ground for about 19 hours before this flight, following a previous tracked landing at Nice on October 30. In the 30 days before this flight, the aircraft visited 22 airports in 9 countries and flew about 25,797 nautical miles. It completed 26 flights totaling 64.1 hours in the air. Celebplanes estimates those flights produced about 276,935 kg of CO2.

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 based in Monaco and Mont-Tremblant, owns the Circuit Mont-Tremblant in Quebec, and holds one of the world's most valuable Ferrari collections. Payerne Air Base is a Swiss military airfield often used by private jets, and its location in western Switzerland places it within easy reach of the Alps and nearby cities.

The jet landed within 109 nautical miles of where Faith, a 79-meter yacht linked to Stroll, was last reported. As of a fix logged 40 minutes ago, Faith was at rest in the Tyrrhenian Sea. The position comes from AIS tracking via our partner site celebyachts.com. The jet landing near the boat is the fact; anyone boarding it is speculation.

The Bombardier Global 7500 has a ceiling of 51,000 feet and a cabin length of 54.4 feet with four living zones. A Global 8000 upgrade is available. The aircraft burns an estimated 450 US gallons of fuel per hour.

The departure field at Sollières Sardières Airfield sits at an elevation of 4,255 feet. Payerne Air Base has a longest runway of 9,376 feet and an elevation of 1,465 feet.

In the 30 days before this flight, the longest leg was from Hettstadt to Seletar on October 7, 2026, covering 5,501 nautical miles. Recent flights by the same owner include a 30-minute hop from Val-Cenis to Nice on October 30 and a 17-minute trip from Münster to Payerne the same day.

The flight used about 3 percent of the aircraft's total range. The top ground speed recorded was 458 knots.
