It Appears a Lot Like Taylor Swift Had Two Non-public Jets for Her Tremendous Bowl Flight

Flying from Tokyo, Japan again to the U.S. to get to the Tremendous Bowl and watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce play was essential to pop celebrity Taylor Swift—so necessary that she apparently had a second non-public jet on standby.

The existence of a second non-public jet for Swift, who was in Tokyo giving a collection of live shows, was reported on Saturday by FlightRadar24, a worldwide flight monitoring service, and aptly named “Backup Quarterback” on its web site. Jason Rabinowitz, co-host of FlightRadar24’s AvTalk podcast, added that personal jet operator VistaJet had mechanics on standby at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport in case one thing went flawed.

“The logistics of flying #TaylorSwift throughout the planet to a soccer sport is sort of a manufacturing,” Rabinowitz said in a post on X, the platform previously referred to as Twitter. “I’m informed @vistajet didn’t simply have mechanics at HND [the Haneda Airport code] in case something broke, it had an entire second jet there on standby. Principally, a non-public Air Drive One.”

Rabinowitz informed Gizmodo he was informed in regards to the second jet, a Bombardier World 6000 with name signal VTJ968, from buddies within the non-public jet trade who’ve entry to the knowledge, however he declined to be extra particular. Gizmodo reached out to Swift’s workforce and VistaJet for touch upon the purported second jet however didn’t obtain a response.

Fortunately, there was nothing flawed with the primary jet, additionally a Bombardier World 6000 with name signal VJT993, which FlightRadar24 named “The Soccer Period.” However how can we be certain this was Swift’s flight? Ian Petchenik, FlightRadar24’s communications director, informed Gizmodo in an electronic mail that whereas they couldn’t affirm whether or not she boarded the airplane, the workforce had a “excessive diploma of confidence” that this was her flight primarily based on the knowledge that they had obtained.

VJT993 departed Tokyo at 11:36 p.m. native time and is ready to reach in Los Angeles at 3:27 p.m. native time Saturday, giving her loads of time to get to Las Vegas for the Tremendous Bowl on Sunday. A mean of 6,000 folks monitored Swift’s 9-hour flight from Tokyo to Los Angeles on Saturday at any given second, Petchenik stated. Within the ultimate hour of the flight, Gizmodo confirmed that have been there greater than 10,400 folks monitoring the flight dwell.

As for the “Backup Quarterback,” often known as VTJ968, it appeared to take off in the other way after Swift’s flight took off.

If a second jet for Swift was certainly on-site in Tokyo, that will take her carbon footprint to a wholly new degree. It’s one factor to lend out your private plane to your friends or use it to go see your boyfriend, however it’s one other factor solely to have a second airplane fly out simply in case the primary one breaks after which ship it again empty.
