Peter Thiel flies from St George to Los Angeles after a long holiday weekend

Peter Thiel flew from St George Regional Airport (KSGU) to Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) early Monday morning, May 25, 2026, a 55-minute hop in his Gulfstream V, N878DB. The flight arrived at 2:31 UTC.

The trip appears to be a straightforward return home after a long Memorial Day weekend in southern Utah. St George is a known haven for outdoor recreation and proximity to Zion National Park — Thiel holds reported (unverified) property interests in the Mountain West, and the aircraft’s recent flight history shows a departure for the area on May 23, suggesting a brief holiday getaway. His primary residence is in Los Angeles, according to celebplanes tracking data; LAX remains his most frequent origin and destination airport.

The flight continues a pattern of short, domestic hops this week: Thiel flew SFO→LAX on May 21 and LAX→SFO on May 20. No public appearances, board meetings, or conferences in Los Angeles were found for this date; the journey is best explained as a post-weekend return to base.
