Tyler Perry flies ten minutes home after a transatlantic tour

Tyler Perry departed Fulton County Airport at 21:40 UTC on May 22 and landed ten minutes later at a private airstrip at 34.013, -84.605 — the coordinates of his 856-acre estate in Douglasville, Georgia. The flight, barely long enough to reach cruising altitude, covered 13 nautical miles at a max ground speed of 217 knots.

The homecoming follows a transatlantic swing. On May 15, his Embraer Lineage 1000 (N378TP) departed Nice, France, for Barcelona, then flew to Montgomery County, Maryland, on May 16 before returning to Atlanta. Perry owns a home in the Bahamas and has been spotted in Eleuthera, but his primary residence and film studio remain in metro Atlanta. The arrival at his private airstrip, built as part of the Gilded-Age-style mansion he began constructing in the mid-2010s, suggests the trip was simply a return to base after what appears to have been a European itinerary.

Perry, who holds a private pilot license, has flown 121 tracked flights on this aircraft, accumulating over 154,000 miles. His fleet includes a recently delivered Bombardier Global 7500 and a Gulfstream III, per [simpleflying.com](https://simpleflying.com/tyler-perry-private-jet-cost-guide/). The quick hop from KFTY to home — rather than to his usual base at Hartsfield-Jackson or Cobb County — is consistent with his routine use of the estate's runway for final arrival after longer trips.
