The Weeknd’s Private Jet: He Owns None, and His Billion-Dollar Tour Flew on Rented Airliners

The After Hours til Dawn Tour passed $1 billion in ticket sales by November 2025, and Variety called it the highest-earning tour ever by a male solo artist. The man at the center of it has no tail number.

There is no The Weeknd private jet on the US register. Abel Tesfaye has no aircraft in his own name, and none under his label’s name or any company we could tie to him. Yet plane spotters have photographed him on two airliners, a Boeing 757 in Europe and a Boeing BBJ2 in Latin America, both rented for the road.

This is the full record: what the registry shows, the two aircraft that carried the tour in 2023, where those airframes are now, and how his approach compares with the stars who do own their jets.

Does The Weeknd Own a Private Jet?

No. We searched the FAA’s releasable aircraft database, the October 30, 2026 release, for Tesfaye, The Weeknd, Starboy and his label XO. No aircraft is registered to him, and no cancelled registration in the deregistered file names him either.

That matters because aircraft ownership is public by design. Every celebrity owner in this series shows up on a register somewhere, even when the name on the file is an LLC or a bank acting as trustee.

Searches for “the Weeknd private jet” mostly turn up fan clips and charter brokers selling flights to his concerts. The aviation record is thinner and more interesting: two specific airliners, each identified by a spotter at an airport on a tour date.

Neither aircraft below belonged to The Weeknd. Both are airliner-sized VIP jets that their owners made available to others, and both were photographed in tour cities on tour dates in 2023.

The Origin Story: A Tour Too Big for a Gulfstream

The Weeknd’s aviation story is really the story of one tour. It opened in Philadelphia in July 2022 and is scheduled to close in Kuala Lumpur on November 5, 2026, which makes it more than four years on the road.

The scale explains the aircraft. A tour that set stadium attendance records at Wembley and in Rio does not move its star and inner circle on a midsize jet. It moves them on something closer to a small airliner.

Inside the Boeing BBJ2: The Latin America Jet

The Boeing Business Jet 2 is a 737-800 airliner built as a private aircraft. Boeing delivered the first in 2001 and quoted a maximum range of 5,750 nautical miles, with about a quarter more cabin area and twice the luggage space of the original Boeing Business Jet.

It is a rare aircraft. Only 23 BBJ2s were delivered, and N908BH was an early one: serial 32915, line number 969, first flown on September 25, 2001.

The 2024 sale listing is the best public look inside. It describes a VVIP interior with a cabin management system from Lufthansa Technik, an entertainment system upgraded in 2015 and 2019, and fresh paint by King Aerospace in April 2022.

The detail that matters most for this story is in the paperwork. The listing calls the aircraft compliant with FAA Part 135, the US rule set for charter flying, with 17 seats in that configuration. In other words, it was set up to be hired.

The FAA file never named a person. N908BH was registered to Bank of Utah as trustee, a structure that keeps the beneficial owner off the public record, while PlaneLogger lists the holder as BZL (Bermuda) Ltd.

The JetMagic Boeing 757: The Europe Jet

The 2023 European and UK leg ran from June 6 in Portugal to August 18 at Wembley Stadium. On June 14, four days after his Manchester show, an aviation account posted a clip from Manchester Airport of a JetMagic Boeing 757-200, saying it was the aircraft he had been using for the tour.

JetMagic was a Malta-based charter airline, and in 2023 its fleet came down to a single aircraft: the 757 registered 9H-AVM, serial 24527, which it had flown since 2013. Earlier Bombardier Global 5000 and Global Express jets had already left by 2021.

The 757’s tour days were close to its last. It flew its final Maltese-registered flight from London Luton on October 27, 2023, ten weeks after the Wembley finale, and went into storage at Lasham in England.

It was re-registered in the US as N107TV on December 23, 2024, and ferried via Shannon and Bangor to Marana, Arizona, a desert storage field, in January 2025. JetMagic now operates no aircraft in Malta. The current FAA file lists N107TV under Firedancer Asset Holding II LLC of Miami Beach.

Why a Charter Airliner and Not a Gulfstream

A stadium tour is not one passenger. The star travels with security, management, creative staff and often band members, and a business jet’s dozen or so seats fill fast. A 737 or a 757 carries the entire inner circle on one aircraft.

Range matters too. The 2023 Latin America leg ran from Monterrey on September 26 through Bogota, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Santiago, Buenos Aires and Lima, ending in Guadalajara on October 25. That is nine cities in a month, across a continent.

Renting rather than owning also fits a tour that runs in legs, with gaps of months between them. An owned airliner would sit idle between legs, while a chartered one goes back to its operator. We found no public record of what aircraft carried the 2024 Australia, 2025 North America or 2026 legs.

Flight Tracking and Carbon: Nothing to Follow

The celebrity emissions rankings that put Taylor Swift and Drake in the headlines work by following a known airframe across a year. The Weeknd gives that method nothing to lock onto, because no aircraft is his.

That is not the same as a low carbon footprint. A chartered 757 or BBJ2 burns as much fuel as an owned one, and a four-year world stadium tour is a large aviation operation however it is booked. It simply leaves no single tail number for trackers to tally.

The Weeknd’s Most Famous Private Jet Moments

The Lollapalooza flight with Bella Hadid, 2018

In August 2018, W Magazine reported that The Weeknd and Bella Hadid shared a private jet to Chicago, where he was booked to play Lollapalooza. It is the best-documented private flight of his career, and like the others, no aircraft was named.

The Santiago photo, 2023

The JetPhotos image of N908BH in Santiago is the closest thing to a fleet record he has. It is the only photograph we found that names both the artist and a specific registration.

The 757 at Manchester, 2023

The JetMagic 757 clip came from Manchester Airport days after his June 10, 2023 show at the Etihad Stadium. Within four months the aircraft was parked for good in Europe, and it now sits in the Arizona desert.

How The Weeknd Compares to Other Music Stars

The closest comparison is the other Toronto superstar. Drake’s private jet is a Boeing 767, N767CJ, a widebody flown through a partnership with Cargojet. The two artists share a city and a scale of touring, but only one has his name on an airliner.

Taylor Swift’s private jets include a Dassault Falcon 7X, N621MM, and Travis Scott’s private jet is a Lineage 1000 registered to Cactus Jack Airlines LLC. Both are owned business jets, smaller than either airliner The Weeknd toured on.

His model is closer to Harry Styles’ private jet story: no aircraft on the register, a charter habit, and a tour that is the real aviation story. For the wider field, see who actually owns one in our rappers with private jets registry check.

The difference is size. The one aircraft linked to Styles in charter coverage, unconfirmed, is a Falcon 7X business jet, while both aircraft tied to The Weeknd are airliners, the kind of jet an airline would fill with rows of economy seats.
