Michael Bloomberg's Falcon 900LX N47EG flies 25 miles from LaGuardia to Newark

Michael Bloomberg's Dassault Falcon 900LX, tail number N47EG, flew from LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) in New York to Newark Liberty International Airport (KEWR) on Thursday, October 29, 2026. The flight departed at 02:38 UTC and landed at 02:59 UTC, spending 22 minutes in the air. The great-circle distance between the two airports is 25 nm (28 miles, 46 km). The aircraft reached a highest altitude of 4,600 ft and a top ground speed of 268 kt.

The Falcon 900LX is a long-range jet with blended winglets that reduce drag by 7 percent. The aircraft burns about 320 US gallons of fuel per hour. On this flight, the average ground speed was 69 knots. LaGuardia's longest runway is 7,002 feet, with an elevation of 21 feet. Newark's longest runway is 11,000 feet, with an elevation of 18 feet.

The 25 nm trip used about 1 percent of the Falcon 900LX's 4,750 nm range. The aircraft burned an estimated 115 US gallons of fuel, producing about 1,106 kg (1.1 metric tons) of CO2. That is roughly the same as driving a car 2,737 miles. The Falcon 900LX typically seats 12 to 14 passengers, has a top speed of Mach 0.87, and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft.

This was the 10th tracked landing at Newark by any of Michael Bloomberg's aircraft in the tracking window from August 9 to October 29, 2026. The previous Newark landing was on October 13, 2026, 15 days before this flight, also by N47EG. Newark is listed as the home base for Michael Bloomberg's fleet. Usual destinations on file include Quebec Jean Lesage International Airport, LaGuardia Airport, Teterboro Airport, Boston Logan International Airport, London Luton Airport, and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. In the 30 days before this flight, the two aircraft on file made 13 flights, totaling 10.6 hours in the air and about 32,483 kg of CO2. Another tracked aircraft, a Dassault Falcon 7X registered to Becton Dickinson, landed at Newark about 7 hours earlier.

In the tracking window from August 9 to October 29, 2026, the two aircraft on file made 38 tracked flights. The most common destinations were New York with 11 landings, Newark with 9 landings, and Teterboro with 3 landings. The longest leg in the 30 days before this flight was from Harrisburg to Hamilton on October 10, 2026, covering 752 nautical miles.

Michael Bloomberg is the founder of Bloomberg LP, a financial data and media giant, and served as the 108th Mayor of New York City from 2002 to 2013. He is also a UN Special Envoy for Climate Ambition and Solutions and a major political donor, with a net worth around $100 billion. His fleet of two Falcon 900 variants is registered through Wing & Rotor Transportation Holdings LLC. The aircraft frequently operates from New York metro airports, including Newark and LaGuardia, supporting his philanthropic, media-business, and climate-activism schedule.

Before this flight, the aircraft had about 0 hours on the ground, with its previous tracked landing on October 29, 2026, at New York. Recent flights by the same owner include a Boston to New York trip on October 29, 2026, lasting 46 minutes over 161 nautical miles, and a New York to Boston flight on October 28, 2026, lasting 44 minutes over 161 nautical miles.

If Michael Bloomberg was aboard, this short hop between two New York airports would be consistent with his base of operations in the region. The flight ended at the home airport on file for his fleet.
