Bombardier Challenger 3500
N427MP · ICAO: A516C1 · Midsize jet
Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC) is the largest petroleum refiner in the United States by capacity, spun off from Marathon Oil in 2011 and headquartered in Findlay, Ohio. It owns the Speedway/retail heritage and, since the 2018 acquisition of Andeavor (formerly Tesoro), an expanded West Coast and mid-continent refining footprint. Its corporate flight department has been based at Findlay Airport (KFDY) since the 1930s.
The fleet is four jets: two 2024-build Bombardier Challenger 3500s (N427MP, N425MP — held via Bank of Utah trustee) and two 2014 Gulfstream G450s (N459MP, N457MP — registered to Tesoro Aviation Co in Findlay, inherited from the Andeavor deal). All carry the 'MP' tail and hold valid FAA registration. This is a distinct company from Marathon Oil, the upstream E&P firm acquired by ConocoPhillips in 2024.

Yes. Celebplanes tracks 4 aircraft associated with Marathon Petroleum: a Bombardier Challenger 3500 (N427MP), a Bombardier Challenger 3500 (N425MP), a Gulfstream G450 (N459MP) and a Gulfstream G450 (N457MP). Every movement is logged from the public ADS-B broadcast, so the flight history on this page is a record of the aircraft, not of who was aboard.
Marathon Petroleum flies 2 aircraft: Bombardier Challenger 3500, Gulfstream G450 (N427MP, N425MP, N459MP, N457MP). Live tracking, full flight history, and CO₂ emissions for each aircraft are available on this page.
Marathon Petroleum owns 4 tracked aircraft across 2 types: N427MP (Bombardier Challenger 3500), N425MP (Bombardier Challenger 3500), N459MP (Gulfstream G450) and N457MP (Gulfstream G450). This is the count Celebplanes can evidence from public registration and ADS-B records; aircraft held through undisclosed entities or chartered rather than owned would not appear here.
Marathon Petroleum flies a Bombardier Challenger 3500 — Super Midsize class, 3,400 nm range, seating up to 10 (registration N427MP). 3 further aircraft are tracked on this page: Bombardier Challenger 3500 (N425MP), Gulfstream G450 (N459MP) and Gulfstream G450 (N457MP).
Marathon Petroleum flies a Bombardier Challenger 3500 (N427MP). A new Bombardier Challenger 3500 lists at approximately $28 million before options and completion — indicative mid-2026 market figures, not an appraisal. Actual value turns on airframe hours, engine-programme enrolment and cabin configuration.

Marathon Petroleum's Bombardier Challenger 3500 (N427MP) burns roughly 260 gallons of Jet-A per hour, which converts to about 2,498 kg of CO₂ per flight hour — equivalent to roughly 6,182 miles of average passenger-car driving.
Marathon Petroleum's home base is Findlay Airport (OH) (KFDY / FDY), with frequent destinations including KIAH, KDEN, KMSY, KLAX.
Across 50 tracked flights (117 flight hours) on Celebplanes, Marathon Petroleum's aircraft have emitted approximately 378.7t of CO₂. These figures are calculated from public ADS-B flight times multiplied by manufacturer-published fuel burn × the EPA standard 9.57 kg CO₂/gallon for Jet-A.
Yes. Every transponder-equipped aircraft broadcasts unencrypted ADS-B position data continuously, by FAA mandate. Celebplanes aggregates this public broadcast from ADSB Exchange, ADSB.fi, FlightRadar24 and airplanes.live — the same sources used by news outlets and academic researchers.
