Gulfstream G700 M-USIK lands at Teterboro after a 3,526 nm flight from Innsbruck

Nassef Sawiris's Gulfstream G700, tail number M-USIK, departed Innsbruck Airport in Austria at 18:30 UTC on Thursday, November 5, 2026, and landed at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey at 01:52 UTC. The flight took 7 hours and 23 minutes.

The great-circle distance between the two airports is 3,526 nautical miles, or 4,058 miles. The aircraft averaged 478 knots ground speed and reached a top speed of 548 knots at a highest altitude of 47,000 feet. Our estimates show the flight burned about 3,174 US gallons of fuel and produced about 30,491 kilograms of CO2, roughly the same as driving a car 75,472 miles. The Gulfstream G700 is an ultra-long-range jet with a range of 7,750 nautical miles, a top speed of Mach 0.935, a ceiling of 51,000 feet, and seating for up to 19 passengers.

This is the fourth tracked landing by one of Sawiris's aircraft at Teterboro since August 24, 2026. The previous one was on October 29, 2026, by his other Gulfstream G700, M-YNNS. Sawiris's home base is Cairo International Airport in Egypt, and his usual destinations include London Heathrow, Amsterdam Schiphol, John F. Kennedy International in New York, Zurich, Dubai, and Istanbul. In the 24 hours before this landing, other aircraft tracked at Teterboro included a Gulfstream G280 operated by Goldman Sachs, a Bombardier Challenger 600 operated by Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale, a Gulfstream G650ER operated by Eric Schmidt, a Gulfstream G650 operated by Len Blavatnik, and a Gulfstream G650 operated by Marc Benioff.

Before this flight, M-USIK had spent about 35 hours on the ground after its previous tracked landing on November 4, 2026, at Zurich Airport. That leg was a 16-minute hop from Friedrichshafen, covering just 38 nautical miles. On November 1, the aircraft flew from Dubai to Innsbruck, a 5-hour-42-minute trip of 2,470 nautical miles.

Nassef Sawiris is Egypt's richest person with a net worth estimated at $8.8 billion by Forbes. He runs OCI, one of the world's largest nitrogen fertilizer producers, and holds a nearly 6% stake in Adidas. He also owns a majority stake in the English Premier League club Aston Villa FC. Sawiris's aircraft have made 36 tracked flights since August 24, 2026, visiting 27 airports in 13 countries in the 30 days before this flight. The longest leg in that period was a 2,760-nautical-mile flight from Cairo to Frankfurt am Main on November 2, 2026.

Teterboro Airport is a common gateway to New York City and the surrounding financial district. Sawiris's business interests, particularly his control of OCI, often bring him to the region for meetings with investors and management. The aircraft's arrival at Teterboro places his logistics within reach of Wall Street and corporate headquarters.

The Gulfstream G700 is the largest Gulfstream cabin, with five living areas, and was certified in 2023. Our estimate shows the aircraft burns about 430 US gallons of fuel per hour. Teterboro's longest runway is 6,997 feet at an elevation of 9 feet, while Innsbruck's longest runway is 6,562 feet at 1,907 feet elevation.

The flight from Innsbruck to Teterboro used 46 percent of the aircraft's range, leaving ample fuel reserves for a transatlantic crossing.
