Oprah Winfrey arrives in New York from North Carolina on private jet

Oprah Winfrey flew from Raleigh-Durham International Airport to Teterboro Airport on May 10, 2026, aboard her Gulfstream G700, N540W. The 69-minute hop covered about 425 miles at altitudes up to 31,000 feet, touching down just after 4:50 p.m. local time.

Teterboro, a gateway to New York City, serves as one of Winfrey's primary hubs for media dealings and public appearances. Though no specific event ties directly to this week's calendar, the trip aligns with her frequent Northeast visits for OWN network business and philanthropic outreach, as New York remains a nerve center for her empire despite her California base.

This East Coast jaunt caps a whirlwind week that began with a flight from Santa Barbara to the North Carolina coast on May 9, possibly for a discreet getaway or personal matter, before a short hop to Raleigh. Winfrey's travel patterns often weave between her Montecito estate, Maui ranch, and urban outposts like Teterboro, underscoring a life of calculated mobility—even as trackers eye the carbon footprint.
