SpaceX lands in Los Angeles the week of its $75 billion IPO

SpaceX flew from Santa Elena Airport in Mexico to Los Angeles International Airport on June 10, 2026, a 2-hour-48-minute hop aboard its Boeing 737-800 (N154TS). The aircraft, a high-capacity employee shuttle registered to Falcon Aviation Holdings, touched down at SpaceX’s home base just before 10:20 p.m. local time.

The same week, SpaceX is preparing to go public. Per a TechCrunch report published June 10, the company’s $75 billion stock offering is “deeply over-subscribed,” with some institutional investors committing $10 billion blocks. The IPO, set for Friday, caps a period of aggressive expansion: the company recently announced plans for a 100-million-square-foot Terafab semiconductor facility in Grimes County, Texas, and unveiled its AI1 satellite platform.

The flight from Mexico is an unusual deviation for N154TS, which typically shuttles employees between Los Angeles and Brownsville, Texas, three times a week. The pattern reflects SpaceX’s dual focus: Starbase operations in South Texas and corporate command in Hawthorne. This week, the center of gravity shifts to Wall Street.
