We are just boarding in Barcelona at 10.30 local time for the Stones show at Murrayfield stadium Edinburgh and really amazed to see the stones plane with the big Stones tongue logo at Barcelona airport. They may have taken a short sunny break in Barcelona....at Ronnie s flat downtown? Really they can always suprise you.

The Stones-B767 (ZS-NEX) came from Moscow on 7-Jun-2018: [www.Flightradar24.com] .

Recent flights:

7-Jun-2018 Moscow-Barcelona
7-Jun-2018 Barcelona-Moscow
6-Jun-2018 Edinburgh-Barcelona
6-Jun-2018 Manchester-Edinburgh
3-Jun-2018 Birmingham-Manchester
3-Jun-2018 London-Birmingham

Seems that the plane, despite the Rolling Stones design, is used for others, if not used by the Stones themselves.

Their plane seems to be very busy then. Do other people use it while on tour apart from our heroes???

Well Tornfrayedsue yours seems a reasonable explanation then

I remember it was used/borrowed by a college sports team on a recent U.S. tour.

It' s operated by this charter company.
[aeronexus.aero]
With relatively long times between the concerts I'm pretty sure the stones only charter it for the day they need it.

He is leaving tbe summit at 12 so he can watch Stones live from Murrayfield via Periscope TV. Why discuss climate and environmental issues when you can watch Stones. YCAGWYW..

I have never heard of any of the Stones owning their own private business jet over their long career. It's one of the hallmarks of having a lot of money. I think John Travolta has a collection of planes. Just having a plane sitting on the ground must cost a small fortune.

Perhaps someone knows?

Seems it is now back in Edinburgh, but scheduled to Barcelona again

The ZS-NEX flew from Barcelona to Moscow on 9th June and landed on 10-Jun-2018, 0:58 UTC in Edinburgh.

The Stones do not fly today: [iorr.org] .

The Stones' plane also was used by the Paris Saint Germain team during the week the Stones were in Paris in october

The Stones don't own the plane, they charter it from Aeronexus Corporate.

Of course.

But funny, even ZDF German state TV reported the other night on the 7 o'clock news that the Argentinia national football team had landed in Moscow "in the Rolling Stones' private jet".

d.f

It has reached London Stansted 1:58 pm according to FR24

No, takeoff was 1:58pm in Edinburgh and landing was 3:09pm in London-Stansted:

There was also a flight of the SX-ATF plane - takeoff was 4:33pm BST in Edinburgh and landing was 5:39pm BST in Farnborough:


[www.Flightradar24.com]


Looks like the Touring-Band flew to Stansted while the Stones itself flew to Farnborough so that Charlie could be at home in Dolton ....

Do the Stones ever use it for personal reasons (e.g., vacations) or just when they're touring?

I would think that highly unlikely.
The Stones livery isn't permanent.
