Starbucks

Starbucks Corporation is a global coffee retailer headquartered in Seattle at 2401 Utah Ave S. The company operates a fleet of corporate aircraft, including two Gulfstream G550s (N721L, N721V) and a newer Gulfstream G700 (N211HS). Since September 2024, CEO Brian Niccol has commuted via corporate jet from Newport Beach to Seattle, drawing media attention.

A 2019 Gulfstream G650ER (N19HS, hex A16692, MSN 6415) is held through a TVPX owner-trust, obscuring the beneficial owner on the FAA registry. Flight trackers associate this aircraft with founder and former CEO Howard Schultz due to the 'HS' tail and his known use of a G650ER, though ownership is not publicly confirmed. A separate aircraft sublease involving Schultz was documented in SEC filings from late 2013 to his 2018 retirement, unrelated to the current tail.
