Jeff Bezos's Gulfstream G700 N11AF flies Miami to Van Nuys in 4 hours 51 minutes

Jeff Bezos's Gulfstream G700, registration N11AF, flew from Miami-Opa Locka Executive to Van Nuys Airport (KVNY) in 4 hours 51 minutes. The great-circle distance between the two airports is 2,035 nautical miles (2,342 miles). The aircraft averaged a ground speed of 420 knots, reached a top speed of 504 knots and a highest altitude of 47,025 feet.

The flight used about 26 percent of the aircraft's maximum range and burned an estimated 2,227 gallons of fuel, producing about 21.4 metric tons of CO2. The G700 has a range of 7,750 nautical miles, a top speed of Mach 0.935, a ceiling of 51,000 feet and seating for up to 19 passengers, and it burns an estimated 460 US gallons of fuel per hour.

The G700 is the newest and largest aircraft in Bezos's fleet, delivered in July 2024 as the 20th G700 off the production line. Before this flight it had been on the ground for about 8 days following a tracked landing at Miami on October 22.

Miami-Opa Locka Executive has a longest runway of 8,002 feet at an elevation of 8 feet; Van Nuys has a runway of 8,001 feet at an elevation of 802 feet. No public events or appearances tied to Bezos or his companies were reported in the Los Angeles area on the day of the flight.

All four aircraft in Bezos's fleet made 40 tracked flights from August 22 to October 29, 2026. This was the first tracked landing by any of the owner's aircraft at Van Nuys in that window. The most common destinations were Lafayette, with 11 landings, and Miami, with 7.

The longest leg in that period was a 4,160-nautical-mile trip from Kailua-Kona to Miami on October 11, 2026, also flown by the G700. The arrival places the aircraft near the Los Angeles area, where Bezos owns a home in Beverly Hills.

A 2,035-nautical-mile leg consuming roughly a quarter of the G700's 7,750-nautical-mile range shows how ultra-long-range cabins are used in practice: most flying is far shorter than the design mission, so the range capability sits largely in reserve while fuel burn and emissions accrue per hour flown. At about 460 gallons an hour, the 2,227 gallons burned here translate directly into the 21.4 metric tons of CO2 attributed to the trip.

For the segment, public flight tracking turns these figures into a comparison point. Owners of large-cabin jets face growing scrutiny of per-flight emissions, and a single transcontinental leg now carries a published fuel and CO2 estimate that anyone can weigh against range, speed and cabin capacity.

The one dated milestone in the record is the October 11 Kailua-Kona to Miami leg, which stands as the longest flight in the 30-day window and shows the G700 being used well beyond the Miami to Van Nuys distance.
