Map shows how the rich and powerful are descending on Davos by private jet

"Business Insider tracked at least 157 private jets that arrived near the Alpine town, using data from ADS-B Exchange and JetSpy, which track FAA-registered aircraft. More than half of the flights tracked landed at Zurich International Airport. Another 45 came into Friedrichshafen, a German city on the shore of Lake Constance, just over the Swiss border. The rest were spread across other smaller airports in Switzerland."

"They included airplanes belonging to Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff and the former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, according to data from JetSpy. JetSpy also showed numerous companies' private jets arriving in the area, including those of Aramco, BlackRock, Blackstone, Citigroup, Google, HP, JPMorgan Chase, Lockheed Martin, and the quantitative hedge fund Two Sigma. The most popular private jet was the Gulfstream G650, representing 31 of the flights tracked by Business Insider. Buying one typically costs over $65 million. It can accommodate up to 19 people or be configured with a double bed and a shower."

"At 7,600 miles, the longest trip was made by the Gulfstream G700 that JetSpy says belongs to Benioff. It flew for 14½ hours from Hawaii. Meanwhile, a commercial flight would have taken two stops and over 24 hours. Other major journeys included airplanes arriving from Kuala Lumpur, Mumbai, and Uruguay. Private jets flew in from dozens of different countries, including Sierra Leone and Montenegro."
