Bezos recently added a Gulfstream G700 aircraft to his fleet, showcasing his dedication to convenience and luxury. His existing fleet includes other Gulfstream jets and a Pilatus PC-24, highlighting his commitment to air travel.
Jeff Bezos is one of the most successful businessmen in the world. He is the founder and former President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Amazon, the largest e-commerce company in the world. Although the company began as an online bookstore in the 1990s, It has grown to offer a variety of e-commerce products, video streaming, audiobooks, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence.
Bezos's prowess as a businessman has led him to become one of the wealthiest people in the world, with current estimates of his net worth reaching over $200 billion. Bezos has a wide variety of responsibilities as a business manager and investor, many of which require him to travel or attend events around the world. Due to the frequent obligations, commercial airlines are not always able to ensure that Bezos's time is spent properly.
Because of this, along with his extreme wealth, it is no wonder that he operates several private jets . However, over the past several months, Bezos has made another addition to his fleet of aircraft. This new aircraft is Bezos' fourth aircraft.

After a brief stop, the aircraft continued from Charleston to Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF), where Bezos is based. Bezos officially took delivery on July 11. Almost immediately after taking delivery of the business jet , Bezos utilized N11AF on a flight from Miami to Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) in Florida.
This flight was just over 30 minutes, and the aircraft returned to Miami after 20 minutes on the ground. Overall, since Bezos took delivery of the aircraft, he has utilized the aircraft frequently. According to JetSpy, N11AF has flown a total of 28 times.
During these flights, the aircraft has accumulated 56 total flight hours. These flights have used over 27,000 gallons of aviation fuel, which has contributed to over 250 metric tons of carbon emissions. Additionally, the aircraft has visited the following three airports the most: Olbia / Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB) in Italy Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) in Florida Daytona Beach International Airport (DAB) in Florida About the Gulfstream G700 The G700 is Gulfstream's newly certified flagship aircraft.
It is the largest and fastest business jet that Gulfstream manufactures, recently surpassing the Gulfstream G650 series. The new G700 was first announced in October 2019 at the annual National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Convention & Exhibition in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was introduced with a video of the aircraft taxiing, showing the development process was well underway.
The aircraft flew for the first time in February 2020. Eventually, after several delays, the FAA awarded the aircraft its type certificate in March 2024. Gulfstream began delivering the aircraft in April, just a month after it was certified.
The G700 features a cabin that is about ten feet longer than the G650's. However, the cabin cross-section kept the same measurements. The cabin measurements are: Cabin width: eight feet two inches Cabin height: six feet three inches Cabin length: 56 feet eleven inches This allows the aircraft to comfortably fit 19 passengers.
Inside the cockpit, the G700 is equipped with the Honeywell Primus Epic flight deck. This avionics system includes active control sidesticks, a synthetic vision system, and an enhanced vision system. The aircraft is powered by two Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines, which provide over 18,000 pounds of thrust each.
These powerful engines help the aircraft achieve the following performance specifications: Length 109 feet ten inches Height 25 feet five inches Wingspan 103 feet Maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) 107,600 pounds Maximum speed Mach 0.935 (617 miles per hour) Range 7,750 nautical miles (8,920 miles) Service ceiling 51,000 feet Other private jets in the Bezos fleet Bezos already had several private jets prior to his Gulfstream G700 purchase. He also owns and operates two other Gulfstream jets, both G650ERs.

It was originally built in 2015 and has the serial number 6133. Since it is the older of his two Gulfstream G650ERs, it is used a bit less than the newer aircraft. However, the aircraft has still conducted 64 flights for a total of just under 200 total flight hours so far in 2024.
These flights have used over 100,000 gallons of aviation fuel and are responsible for just under 1,000 metric tons of carbon emissions. Bezos's newer Gulfstream G650ER is registered as N758PB. According to JetSpy, this aircraft was produced in 2019 and has a serial number of 6396.
This aircraft was utilized more frequently than Bezos' older G650ER, although its frequency of flights has dropped since the delivery of the new G700. It has only flown four times since the G700 delivery date, per JetSpy. However, N758PB has still racked up 86 flights in 2024 for a total of 260 flight hours.
This amounts to over 130,000 gallons of jet fuel and has accounted for over 1,250 metric tons of carbon emissions. This light business jet is operated in addition to his other Gulfstream G650ERs. The final jet in the Bezos fleet is a light business jet.
This aircraft is a Pilatus PC-24, first manufactured in 2020, with serial number 194. This aircraft is still used fairly frequently, as it has conducted 76 flights in 2024, per JetSpy. These flights have utilized over 20,500 gallons of jet fuel and are responsible for just under 200 metric tons of carbon emissions.
