Michael Jordan flew from Mykonos Island to Lechaio Airfield near Corinth, Greece, on June 3, 2026, a 1-hour-28-minute leg that barely cleared 550 feet. The Gulfstream G650ER—with its custom Air Jordan 3-inspired livery—left Mykonos shortly after noon local time and touched down on the private strip at Lechaio, an airfield that serves as a gateway to Athens and the Peloponnese.

The short hop arrived the same week 23XI Racing, the NASCAR team Michael Jordan co-owns, is holding a formal ceremony to open a new competition shop in the Megara area outside Athens, per a team-issued statement on May 29. The facility, part of a European expansion for 23XI following the team’s 2026 Daytona 500 win, will serve as a base for the squad’s upcoming exhibition events in Southern Europe. Michael Jordan’s presence at the ribbon-cutting underscores his hands-on role in the team’s international growth.

The flight continues a pattern of Mediterranean movement for Michael Jordan this season. The preceding data shows the aircraft arrived in Mykonos from the U.S. days earlier, and the Corinth leg positions him for the shop opening before a likely return to Jupiter, Florida, where his primary estates at The Bear’s Club await. The G650ER’s range means the next hop could be anywhere.
