Travis Kalanick flies to Paris the week of CloudKitchens' European expansion talks

Travis Kalanick flew from La Malachère Airfield in Burgundy to Paris–Le Bourget on Wednesday morning, a 37-minute Gulfstream G650ER hop that landed at 15:59 local time. The brief flight capped a week of European movement: N10100 had previously touched down in Munich, Zurich, and Brussels, tracking a business itinerary that began with a long-haul leg from Saudi Arabia on June 8.

The same week, French business daily Les Échos reported that CloudKitchens is in advanced negotiations with SNCF Gares & Connexions to install ghost-kitchen units at Gare de Lyon and Gare Saint-Lazare, part of a broader push into European transit hubs. The talks, confirmed by sources close to the French rail operator, would mark CloudKitchens' first permanent locations inside a European railway station. Kalanick's presence in Paris aligns with final-stage commercial discussions, per the report.

The trip continues a pattern visible in recent travel: Kalanick spent late May in Brazil scouting CloudKitchens expansion sites, then hopped through the Middle East before arriving in Europe. With his relocation to Austin in December 2025 and the launch of his robotics venture Atoms in April 2026, his flight activity increasingly mirrors the international footprint of his ghost-kitchen network — now present in 30 countries — and the deal-making needed to grow it.
