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.
