Super Bowl week: the private-jet fly-in
Few events move as many business jets as the Super Bowl. Watch the fleet converge on Los Angeles — host of the game again in February 2027 — and see where they all park.
Super Bowl week: the private-jet fly-in
Every February
The biggest fly-in of the year
The Super Bowl is one of the busiest weekends of the year for business aviation in the United States. Hundreds of extra jets arrive in the host region over a few days, and aviation authorities set up special arrangements, such as reservation programmes for the busiest airports, to manage the traffic.
Where they land
In Los Angeles, business jets spread across Van Nuys — one of the busiest general-aviation airports in the world — and other airports around the region, including Burbank and Long Beach. When the ramps are full, some aircraft drop off their passengers and reposition to less crowded airports to park.
The morning after
The departure rush after the final whistle is its own spectacle: long lines of jets waiting to leave on Sunday night and Monday morning, one after another.
The route

Davos week: the great Alpine airlift
Every January the World Economic Forum turns Switzerland into one of the busiest business-aviation hubs on Earth. Follow a jet from New York to Zurich and on into the Alps — and watch everyone else converge.
Around the world in three legs
With a range of around 8,000 nautical miles, today’s longest-range business jets can circle the planet with just two stops. Here is how it would go.
Chasing the sunset
Fly west fast enough at high latitude and the sunset stops — or even runs backwards. The globe here is lit by the real position of the sun at every moment of the flight.
