Max Verstappen flies to Amsterdam the week of a Dutch homecoming

Max Verstappen flew from Payerne Air Base in Switzerland to Amsterdam Schiphol on May 24, 2026, a short 67-minute hop that brought his Dassault Falcon 900EX back to its home base. The flight, which peaked at 40,025 feet and 482 knots ground speed, is the latest in a series of European movements that have kept the Dutch driver crisscrossing the continent this month.

The trip lands Verstappen in the Netherlands the same week his return there sparked speculation among Dutch media. As covered by GPblog, Verstappen's private jet touched down in the Netherlands earlier this week, and his presence in the country is noteworthy given that the driver resides full-time in Monaco. No official Red Bull Racing commitments have been announced yet, but the timing aligns with a break in the F1 calendar before the Monaco Grand Prix.

The flight follows a transatlantic round-trip Verstappen made just days earlier. On May 19, he flew from Avignon, France, to Manassas, Virginia, then back again on May 21 — a pattern that suggests business or personal engagements in the United States. The return to Amsterdam, his home base per flight records, suggests a quiet pause between commitments for the four-time world champion.
