Tyler Perry hops two Atlanta airports the week he expands his studio footprint

Tyler Perry flew from Cobb County International Airport (KRYY) to Fulton County Airport Brown Field (KFTY) on May 18, a 16-minute hop at just 3,675 feet. The brief flight, in his Embraer Lineage 1000 (N378TP), is best understood as a practical repositioning between the private runway on Perry’s 856-acre Douglasville estate and the airfield closest to Tyler Perry Studios, the former Fort McPherson Army base he owns outright in Atlanta.

Perry lands at KFTY the same week he is reported to be expanding production capacity at his 330-acre studio lot, which already houses 12 sound stages named after pioneering Black filmmakers. The timing also follows his return to Atlanta from a European itinerary — recent flights show N378TP traveled from Barcelona to Paris, then back to the U.S. via the Mid-Atlantic — suggesting Perry is settling back into the rhythm of his home base for a concentrated stretch of work.

As a licensed pilot who once overcame a fear of flying, Perry largely uses his fleet — this Embraer, a Bombardier Global 7500 delivered in early 2025, and a Gulfstream III — to move between his Atlanta headquarters, his Bahamas retreat on White Bay Cay, and film locations. This 16-minute hop is a small, efficient gear-shift in a much larger operation, [celebrityprivatejettracker.com](https://celebrityprivatejettracker.com/tyler-perry-n378tp/) noting N378TP logged 148 flights in 2024 alone.
