Jeff Bezos’ $80M jet spotted in LA over Labor Day weekend

Jeff Bezos' new Gulfstream G700 private jet was seen at Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles during the Labor Day weekend. The aircraft, valued at $80 million, is capable of reaching speeds close to Mach 1 and boasts a luxurious interior with multiple living areas, a master suite, and advanced amenities. Bezos was in Los Angeles with his fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, where they dined with Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble at an upscale Italian restaurant. The G700 is part of Bezos' growing fleet of private jets, which includes two earlier models, the Gulfstream G650 and a Pilatus PC-24. The jet has a maximum range of 7,500 nautical miles and features high-speed WiFi, temperature control, and a whisper-quiet cabin. Despite its luxury, the jet's environmental impact has raised concerns, as it generated a significant carbon footprint during its recent flights. Bezos' representatives have stated that he uses sustainable aviation fuel and invests in carbon offsets to mitigate the environmental effects of his travels. The acquisition of the G700 was reportedly kept under wraps through the FAA's Privacy ICAO Aircraft Address program, which allows owners to obscure their aircraft's identity. The public's interest in Bezos' private jet is heightened by the scrutiny of other celebrities' aircraft, with flight-tracking data being shared on social media. This trend reflects a growing awareness of the environmental impact of private air travel, prompting discussions about sustainability in the aviation industry.
