Max Verstappen was captured touching down in his new private plane and it’s a beauty fit for any multi-millionaire

Max Verstappen has been filmed landing in his new private plane that is worthy of any millionaire.

The Dutch-Belgian racing driver landed at London Luton Airport in a brand-new Dassault Falcon 8X PH-UTL.

He was visiting for the F1 75 Launch Event, which took place at London’s O2 ARENA on February 18.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the 27-year-old jetting around in a private plane, and we highly doubt it’ll be the last.

Max Verstappen touches down in a new private plane

Verstappen has previously been linked to a Falcon 900EX, which was even used by fellow F1 drivers to get to races.

Incidentally, the 900EX airplane shares the same coloring as his newest acquisition – orange and black.

The new plane is valued at around $58 million and is considered a huge step-up from the 900EX.

It has more efficient fuel consumption, making it 15% more economical and therefore cheaper.

Not that Verstappen, earning approximately $75 million in 2024, is looking to be a penny pincher anytime soon.

Travelling at distances of 11,945km on a single tank, the 8X is capable of continent hopping without needing to stop off.

The jet’s registration is PH-UTL, which is a nod to Verstappen’s slogan ‘Unleash the Lion’,

A lion is also represented on the side of the plane in distinctive orange.

What other celebrities have spent a lot of money on private jets?

Cristiano Ronaldo is another famous athlete who has spent big bucks to fly in style – $75 million, to be exact.

And then there’s the GOAT of basketball himself, Michael Jordan, with a jaw-dropping $70 million jet to his name that has a $500k custom paint job.

It’s not surprising that these famous faces would want to fly in style, as they’ve likely got jet-setting lives to keep on top of.

And if you’re flying frequently, you’d rather do that in comfort than jammed into economy, right?

If we had the means, we’d all make the same call.

Some people, like John Travolta, go a step further and make their own airports, as shown in the video above.

But Travolta is to planes what the Sultan of Brunei is to cars.

If you’ve got places to be and the cash to spare, chances are you’re going to take the scenic route.
