Marc Benioff's Gulfstream G650 makes brief Shreveport stop amid busy travel day

Marc Benioff's Gulfstream G650 (N650HA) executed an unusual brief flight at Shreveport Regional Airport on May 12, departing and arriving at the same airport within minutes at a maximum altitude of just 125 feet — likely a repositioning or ground test. Earlier that day, the aircraft had flown from Oklahoma City to Shreveport, following a Dallas-to-Oklahoma City leg.

The Shreveport stop does not correspond to any known public appearance or event involving Benioff. However, the pattern of short hops between Dallas, Oklahoma City, and Shreveport suggests logistical movements — possibly crew changes, refueling, or maintenance — rather than a passenger trip. Benioff's Gulfstream is frequently tracked between his San Francisco base, Hawaii residence, and business destinations.

Benioff has faced criticism for his private jet use, with flight-tracking databases labeling him a 'climate-change hypocrite' for advocating environmental protection while operating a heavily tracked G650. His travel remains extensive, though the specific purpose of this Shreveport visit is not publicly documented.
