Why It MattersA long-range tri-jet flown on a 21-nautical-mile hop shows how business jets double as short urban shuttles in the São Paulo metro area, concentrating movements at Congonhas.
Neymar's Dassault Falcon 900LX, registration PS-NJR, flew from São Bernardo do Campo to Congonhas on November 3, 2026. It departed at 20:57 UTC and landed at 21:06 UTC, a 9-minute flight over a great-circle distance of 21 nautical miles (25 miles). The aircraft reached a top ground speed of 264 knots and a highest altitude of 9,000 feet. Estimated fuel burn was about 44 US gallons, producing roughly 421 kg of CO2, based on an assumed burn of 280 US gallons per hour; the leg used less than 1 percent of the aircraft's 4,750-nautical-mile range.
The Falcon 900LX is a long-range tri-jet with a top speed of Mach 0.87 and a service ceiling of 51,000 feet. It is a 900EX fitted with blended winglets, which reduce drag by 7 percent. Congonhas has a longest runway of 6,365 feet and an elevation of 2,631 feet, and lies 16 nautical miles from the aircraft's home base at São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport. PS-NJR had been on the ground for about 2 days since its previous tracked landing on November 1, 2026.
In the 30 days before this flight, Neymar's two aircraft completed 26 flights. The most common destination was São Bernardo do Campo, with 9 landings. The last landing at Congonhas before this flight was on October 24, 2026, by his Cessna Citation Sovereign, registration PR-SMK.
