Caterpillar private jet FAQ

Does Caterpillar have a private jet?

Yes. We track 1 plane linked to Caterpillar: a Bombardier Global 6000 (N797CT). The flight log on this page comes from public ADS-B signals. It shows where the plane went, not who was on board.

What private jet does Caterpillar own?

Caterpillar flies a Bombardier Global 6000. Its tail number is N797CT. You can track it live on this page, along with its flight history and CO₂.

How many private jets does Caterpillar own?

Caterpillar owns 1 tracked plane: N797CT (Bombardier Global 6000). That count only covers planes we can tie to Caterpillar through public registration and ADS-B records. A plane held through an undisclosed company, or one that is chartered, would not show up here.

What kind of plane does Caterpillar fly?

Caterpillar flies a Bombardier Global 6000, tail number N797CT. It is in the Ultra Long Range class. It can fly 6,000 nautical miles without stopping and seats up to 17 people.

How much is Caterpillar's private jet worth?

Caterpillar flies a Bombardier Global 6000 (N797CT). Used ones usually ask $17–28 million. These are mid-2026 market figures, not an appraisal of this plane. Its real value depends on its flight hours, engine maintenance plan and cabin layout.

What is Caterpillar's private jet tail number?

Caterpillar's private jet tail number is N797CT. The plane is a Bombardier Global 6000. Each tail number links to a live tracking page. There you can see the plane's flight history, fuel burn and CO₂.

How much CO₂ does Caterpillar's jet emit per hour?

About 3,843 kg for every hour in the air. Caterpillar's Bombardier Global 6000 (N797CT) burns roughly 400 gallons of jet fuel an hour. That is about the same CO₂ as driving an average car 9,511 miles.

Where does Caterpillar fly out of?

Caterpillar's home airport is Peoria Intl (KPIA / PIA). Frequent stops include KIAD, KORD, KIAH and EGLL.

How much CO₂ has Caterpillar's jet emitted on tracked flights?

About 372.3 metric tons of CO₂ over 50 tracked flights and 97 hours in the air. We start with the flight times from public ADS-B data. We multiply each hour by the maker's fuel burn figure. Then we apply the EPA standard of 9.57 kg of CO₂ per gallon of jet fuel.

Is it legal to track Caterpillar's jet?

Yes. The FAA requires planes with transponders to broadcast their position over ADS-B, and the signal is not encrypted. We collect that public data from adsb.lol and ADSB.fi, two open flight-tracking networks. News outlets and university researchers use the same kind of data. Our methodology page explains how it works.

Owner matches come from the FAA registry, adsb.lol (ODbL) and ADSB.fi data, and SEC filings. They may be incomplete or out of date. Methodology · Report an error. For observational use only.
