Arriving aircraft types were dominated by large ultra-long-range business jets: Gulfstream G650ER (3 movements), Falcon 8X (3), Boeing BBJ (2), and Global 6000 (2), reflecting the UHNW clientele attracted by F1 events. Among origins, Tokyo dominated with 9 movements (41%), indicating significant demand for Tokyo-to-Nagoya domestic repositioning flights; Ho Chi Minh City and Nice appearances reflect the event's international client base. By comparison, Nagoya Komaki Airport (RJNN) recorded zero business jet arrivals throughout — RJGG was the sole event business jet gateway.
