Mark Zuckerberg's Gulfstream G700 lands in Monterey after a Savannah departure

Monterey Regional Airport has become a recurring stop for Mark Zuckerberg's fleet, as documented by celebplanes' tracking data. The G700 previously flew from Reid-Hillview to Monterey on May 26, 2026, a 26-minute hop, and the same aircraft made a similar trip on May 6, departing Moffett Federal Airfield at 1:35 a.m. for a 23-minute flight to Monterey. These short hops often precede or follow longer journeys — the May 6 landing came just days before a five-hour flight to Lihue, Hawaii, where Mark Zuckerberg owns the 2,300-acre Ko'olau Ranch, per celebplanes' coverage of that trip.

The timing of this Savannah-to-Monterey flight also coincides with a period of heightened activity for Meta's AI ambitions. Mark Zuckerberg has been vocal about the company's investments in artificial intelligence, and a return to the Bay Area — even via Monterey — would place him near Meta's Menlo Park headquarters during a week when the company is reportedly preparing new product announcements, though no specific event has been confirmed. The aircraft's owner, A7P Trust Co Inc, operates the G700 through Solairus Aviation, and the plane's movements are tracked via ADS-B data, which shows where the aircraft goes but not who is aboard.

Notably, the flight arrives the same week that AIS tracking via our partner site celebyachts.com shows both of Mark Zuckerberg's yachts, the 119-meter Launchpad and the 80-meter Wingman, underway in the Gulf of Alaska, roughly 1,400 nautical miles from Monterey. If Mark Zuckerberg were aboard the aircraft, he would be far from his vessels — suggesting this trip is business-related rather than a maritime retreat. The Gulfstream's Savannah departure is also curious, as the city is home to Gulfstream Aerospace's headquarters, where the G700 is manufactured; a stop there could indicate maintenance or a factory visit, though no such service has been reported.

For now, the flight stands as another data point in a busy summer of travel for Mark Zuckerberg's fleet — one that keeps the aircraft close to home base while the owner, if aboard, balances coastal escapes with the demands of running a trillion-dollar company. As always, celebplanes tracks the plane, not the person, and who was in the cabin remains a matter of speculation.
