Travis Scott flies to New York’s Hudson Valley after an Istanbul controversy

Travis Scott flew from Newark Liberty International Airport to New York Stewart International Airport on June 15, a short 62-minute hop aboard his Embraer E-190 (N713TS). The brief domestic leg follows a flurry of international travel in early June — including stops in Sweden, France, and Turkey — and arrives as the rapper manages fallout from his Istanbul debut.

Scott’s arrival in the Hudson Valley comes the same week he explained his controversial Istanbul performance, which lasted only about 20 minutes despite being billed as a 90-minute set. In a statement shared on Instagram, per [Complex](https://www.complex.com/music/a/tracewilliamcowen/travis-scott-club-appearance-turkey), Scott said he had come “to host a party for a friend’s big day” and promised to return “to perform for real.” The event, covered by [AFP via France 24](https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20260601-fans-furious-at-travis-scott-s-20-minute-istanbul-debut-set), drew fan complaints over ticket prices reaching $5,000.

Scott’s recent flight data also shows he was in Budapest on May 30 for the UEFA Champions League Final, where he told Thierry Henry he was carrying a device containing his next album, per [Complex](https://www.complex.com/music/a/treyalston/travis-scott-new-album-uefa-champions-league-final-budapest). The Stewart airport stopover — a common alternate for New York-area private aviation — suggests business meetings or a low-profile studio session as he follows up 2023’s Utopia.
