Gulfstream G550
N721L · ICAO: A9A83D · Heavy jet
Starbucks Corporation — global coffee retailer. CEO Brian Niccol since September 2024. Seattle HQ at 2401 Utah Ave S. Two G550s (N721L, N721V) plus a newer G700 (N211HS). Niccol's super-commute-by-jet from Newport Beach to Seattle drew media scrutiny on appointment.
Also tracked: N19HS, a 2019 Gulfstream G650ER (hex A16692, MSN 6415) held via a TVPX owner-trust that hides the beneficial owner on the FAA registry. The 'HS' tail and Schultz's known G650ER use lead flight trackers to associate it with founder and former CEO Howard Schultz, though the ownership is not publicly confirmed. (An earlier, separate Starbucks/Schultz aircraft sublease documented in SEC filings ran from end-of-2013 to Schultz's 2018 retirement and covered a different jet, not this tail.)
Note · Celebplanes tracks Starbucks's registered aircraft — not Starbucks personally. ADS-B data shows when and where the plane moved; who was aboard any given flight is unknown.

Yes. Celebplanes tracks 3 aircraft associated with Starbucks: a Gulfstream G550 (N721L), a Gulfstream G550 (N721V) and a Gulfstream G650ER (N19HS). 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.
Starbucks flies 2 aircraft: Gulfstream G550, Gulfstream G650ER (N721L, N721V, N19HS). Live tracking, full flight history, and CO₂ emissions for each aircraft are available on this page.
Starbucks owns 3 tracked aircraft across 2 types: N721L (Gulfstream G550), N721V (Gulfstream G550) and N19HS (Gulfstream G650ER). 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.
Starbucks flies a Gulfstream G550 — Ultra Long Range class, 6,750 nm range, seating up to 19 (registration N721L). 2 further aircraft are tracked on this page: Gulfstream G550 (N721V) and Gulfstream G650ER (N19HS).
Starbucks flies a Gulfstream G550 (N721L). Pre-owned examples typically ask $14–25 million — indicative mid-2026 market figures, not an appraisal. Actual value turns on airframe hours, engine-programme enrolment and cabin configuration.
Starbucks's private jet tail numbers are N721L (Gulfstream G550), N721V (Gulfstream G550), N19HS (Gulfstream G650ER). Each registration links to the live tracking page with full flight history, fuel burn and CO₂ emissions on Celebplanes.

Starbucks's Gulfstream G550 (N721L) burns roughly 410 gallons of Jet-A per hour, which converts to about 3,939 kg of CO₂ per flight hour — equivalent to roughly 9,749 miles of average passenger-car driving.
Starbucks's home base is King County Intl / Boeing Field (KBFI / BFI), with frequent destinations including KSEA, KSFO, KORD, EGLL.
Across 11 tracked flights (26 flight hours) on Celebplanes, Starbucks's aircraft have emitted approximately 118.7t 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.
