Tyler Perry flies home from his private airstrip as Atlanta's film boom continues

Tyler Perry flew from his own private airstrip at Fly Away Farm Airport (2MD3) in Douglasville, Georgia, to Fulton County Airport Brown Field (KFTY) in Atlanta on May 16, 2026, a 70-minute hop in his Embraer Lineage 1000 (N378TP). The flight, which reached 43,000 feet and 513 knots, landed at the general-aviation field closest to Tyler Perry Studios.

The same week, Perry's 2,100-acre Douglasville estate—which includes a 40,000-square-foot château, helipad, and an FAA-approved private airstrip—remains a centerpiece of Atlanta's film industry expansion, per a recent profile in AtlantaFi. The estate, purchased starting in 2013 for $5.4 million, is now valued in the $100 million range and underscores Perry's role as the largest African-American studio owner in the U.S., leveraging Georgia's film tax incentives to keep production humming.

Perry's aircraft, an Embraer E-190 converted for private use (not a Gulfstream, as sometimes misreported), is registered to his ETPC Aviation LLC and has logged 154,750 miles this year. Recent flights show Perry's jet also operated between Barcelona and Nice in mid-May, suggesting a European leg before returning to his Georgia base. The short hop from his private runway to Atlanta is routine for a mogul who values both seclusion and immediate access to his 330-acre studio campus.
