Len Blavatnik's Gulfstream G650 N761LE flies 40 nm from Newark to Newburgh

Len Blavatnik's Gulfstream G650, tail number N761LE, flew from Newark Liberty International Airport (KEWR) in New Jersey to New York Stewart International Airport (KSWF) in Newburgh on Wednesday, October 28, 2026. The flight departed at 23:13 UTC and landed at 23:42 UTC, spending 29 minutes in the air. The great-circle distance between the two airports is 40 nautical miles, or 46 miles.

The Gulfstream G650, which holds more than 110 speed records and was launched in 2005, used only 1 percent of its range on this 29-minute hop. The aircraft climbed to a highest altitude of 3,600 feet and reached a top ground speed of 275 knots. Its average ground speed for the trip was 84 knots. Celebplanes estimates the flight burned about 205 US gallons of jet fuel, producing about 1,966 kilograms of CO2, roughly the same as driving a car 4,865 miles. The Gulfstream G650 is an Ultra Long Range jet with a range of 7,000 nautical miles, a top speed of Mach 0.925, and a ceiling of 51,000 feet. It typically seats 12 passengers and can carry up to 19.

This was the seventh tracked landing at Newburgh in the window from September 7 to October 28, 2026. The previous landing at the same airport was on October 21, seven days earlier. In the 30 days before this flight, the aircraft visited 11 airports in one country and flew about 14,753 nautical miles. The longest leg in that period was from Los Angeles to Teterboro on September 30, covering 2,132 nautical miles. The most common destinations in the tracked window were Teterboro, Newburgh, and Van Nuys, each with seven, six, or five landings.

Len Blavatnik is the founder of Access Industries, a holding company that controls most of Warner Music Group. Newburgh's Stewart International Airport is about 60 miles north of New York City, where Warner Music Group is based. The flight arrived on a Wednesday night, a time when business travel is less common. No public events or court dates tied to Blavatnik or his companies were scheduled for this date in the New York area.

The aircraft had been on the ground for about zero hours before this flight, following a previous tracked landing at Teterboro earlier on October 28. That same day, the jet also flew from Atlanta to Teterboro and back, as well as from Teterboro to Atlanta. The pattern of short hops in the Northeast is consistent with the aircraft's recent activity. The flight is a routine movement of a private jet.

Newark Liberty International Airport has a longest runway of 11,000 feet and sits at an elevation of 18 feet. New York Stewart International Airport has a longest runway of 11,817 feet and an elevation of 491 feet. The aircraft's estimated fuel burn is 430 US gallons per hour.
