Diddy is ‘renting out his $60m Air Combs private jet & charging $432k for a one-way transatlantic flight’ as trial looms
SEAN Combs’ $60 million luxury jet is available for rent on private charter websites used by top Hollywood stars, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal.
The disgraced rapper, who is behind bars in New York awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, is reportedly trying to sell his plane.
This comes after he also put his Beverly Hills mansion up for sale for $61.5 million.
In the meantime, the distinctive black Gulfstream 550 is listed on various websites that offer expensive charters – although those renting it may not be aware it belongs to Combs.
This includes it being showcased on Victor, aka the “Uber of Private Jets,” which is a favorite for Tinseltown’s elite.
Victor’s CEO, Clive Jackson, says that its platform is used by “business leaders and entrepreneurs to A-list celebrities and ultra-high-net-worth individuals – all with high expectations.”
Combs’ 14-seater plane, which was built in 2015 and is registered to Loveair LLC, is based at Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles.
The Victor site listing for the plane includes photos of the plane on the airport tarmac and the plane’s beige interior and leather chairs.
The flights are operated by Silver Air, a rental operator, which states on its website that it has “a comprehensive fleet of luxury aircraft from light to long-range heavy jets and a global network operating around the clock, 24 hours a day.”
Combs’ jet is also advertised on aviation broker site Jettly where a return from Los Angeles to New York in the plane would you back an estimated $116,681, excluding taxes and fees, for the four-hour and 21-minute journey.
For a transatlantic flight from Van Nuys to London’s Biggin Hill airport, the cost is approximately $432,708, excluding add-ons, and would take nine hours and 42 minutes.
The plane is also featured on the charter marketplace Aviapages.
Meanwhile, Victor CEO Jackson charges rich customers an increased price to offset the extra carbon emitted from these extravagant flights.
“This is a privilege…freedom of choice to fly in a private aircraft. That comes with a responsibility,” he told Private Jet Card Comparisons.
Customers are said to include the Beckhams, singer Rita Ora, and model Irina Shayk.
Jackson also told The Times of London in 2019, ”The people in our aircraft are the most influential and powerful on the planet.
“Raising awareness with them is a far better approach than following the path of Extinction Rebellion, which is banging the drum so hard and causing so much disruption the message gets lost.”
Jettly CEO Justin Crabbe said that celebs often use their planes to fly from New York to Black Rock City for the Burning Man Festival, paying $55,000 for the round trip.
MOUNTING LEGAL FEES
Combs pleaded not guilty and had his bail denied after offering an extensive package in September that included a $50 million bond, the equity of his mother’s condo in Florida, and home detention.
It comes as…
- Rapper paid off mortgage on $48m “Freak Off” mansion before shock arrest
- Accuser allegedly forced into depraved sex acts at Combs’ “White Parties”
- Combs is being held in hell-hole jail after being denied bail
- Stars called out rapper before arrest
The former billionaire’s legal counsel revealed he’s been trying to sell the Gulfstream.
Court documents at the time noted, “Just this weekend, Mr. Combs entered into a Letter of Intent with a party to sell it.
“Mr. Combs understands he is not to travel to Los Angeles, where the plane had been located this week, and further that the plane is not to be brought to any District in which he is located until it is sold.”
U.S. District Judge Andrew L. Carter ruled that Combs’ bail plan was “insufficient” to ensure the safety of the community and the integrity of his case.
Combs is being held at a notoriously rat-infested prison after pleading not guilty to all charges against him, including racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The jail has a capacity of 1,600 inmates, often with celebrities among them.
Ghislaine Maxwell and R. Kelly are just two who have endured the horrific conditions, while Combs’ legal team is trying to get him moved to another location.
Prosecutors allege he “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.”
What happened during Sean Combs' 'freak offs'?
Sean Combs' infamous drug-fueled freak offs, first revealed by his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura's lawsuit in November 2023, have become a central narrative of the indictment, which alleges:
- The music mogul “manipulated women to participate in highly orchestrated performances of sexual activity with male commercial sex workers.”
- Freak offs “occurred regularly, sometimes lasted multiple days, and often involved multiple commercial sex workers.”
- Combs “distributed a variety of controlled substances to victims, in part to keep the victims obedient and compliant.”
- He and the victims “typically received IV fluids to recover from the physical exertion and drug use” after the freak offs.
- Cops “seized various Freak Off supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant” from his homes in Los Angeles and Miami.
- Combs “hit, kicked, threw objects at, and dragged victims, at times, by their hair,” during and separate from the freak offs, which “often resulted in injuries that took days or weeks to heal.”
- He also used the “sensitive, embarrassing, and incriminating recordings” that he made during freak offs as “collateral to ensure the continued obedience and silence of the victims.”
Among the biggest bombshells revealed in an unsealed indictment was Combs’ “Freak Offs” – orgies where he allegedly forced victims to have sex with prostitutes and recorded them.
“Freak Offs were elaborate and produced sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during, and often electronically recorded,” prosecutors alleged.
Combs allegedly arranged for participants, including sex workers, to travel across state lines and, sometimes, internationally for the freak-offs, which sometimes lasted for days on end.
It is believed he often used his private jet to transport people to and from his sordid parties.
Combs’ arrest followed a months-long investigation that involved raids at his homes in Los Angeles and Miami.
If the 54-year-old star is convicted and receives the maximum sentence, he faces life in prison. The minimum sentence is 15 years.
Meanwhile, Combs is also facing multiple civil suits as more alleged victims come forward with multiple allegations of sexual assault and human trafficking
Combs has denied all wrongdoing and continues to fight for his freedom.
