Singer and social icon Taylor Swift is expected to grace the sky, using her private jet to transit the Pacific Ocean from the end of her concert in Tokyo, Japan, and join one of the world’s most-watched sporting events at the national football leagues’ Super Bowl in Las Vegas, Nevada, a continent away. The movement is dubbed the world’s most anticipated flight in heavier-than-air aviation’s more than 120-year history.

The flight is a great moment for aviation, as Taylor Swift fans now draw their attention to the logistics of aircraft movement and the world of flight. For one, it provides an opportunity to share details of the aviation industry with an entirely new audience. While the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics says that only 5% of pilots are women, Taylor Swift fans present a one-of-a-kind opportunity to share aviation with those who generally interact with it.

 

So, whether Taylor Swift is your first parlay into the miracle of flight, or you have been around aviation for years, here is all the information about the upcoming flight from Tokyo to Las Vegas you could ever need.

The aircraft

Founded 95 years ago, Dassault Aviation is no stranger to luxury, high-performance business jets. The Falcon 7X Taylor will likely use is a large-cabin business jet that took its first flight in 2007. Ms. Swift’s jet was the 27th jet of the type to be built, and it was manufactured in 2009.
