Oprah Winfrey's aircraft lands in Bergerac the week of her Cannes Lions appearance

Oprah Winfrey's Gulfstream G700, tail N540W, was tracked flying from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (LFMN) to Bergerac Dordogne-Périgord Airport (LFBE) on June 25, 2026, a 50-minute hop along the French Riviera. The aircraft had arrived in Nice on June 20 from a position near Orlando, Florida, after a week that included stops in Chicago, Philadelphia, and New Jersey.

If Oprah Winfrey was aboard, the timing would suggest she departed the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, where she received the LionHeart Award and spoke about purpose, philanthropy, and a memorable Whitney Houston interview, per coverage from Variety and Deadline. Bergerac is a regional airport serving the Dordogne wine region, a known retreat for the media mogul, who owns property in the South of France.

The flight continues a pattern of European summer movements for Oprah Winfrey's aircraft, which typically bases at Santa Barbara Municipal Airport and makes seasonal trips to the Mediterranean. The G700, delivered in early 2024, is the sixth aircraft to carry the N540W registration, a tail number combining her birth year and surname initial.
