Cristiano Ronaldo's £61million private jet left Saudi Arabia for Spain on Monday evening as tensions escalated across the Middle East. And the Bombardier Global Express 6500 has a host of luxurious amenities.
The Manchester United icon remains in the region, which is currently in the midst of a major state-level war. Iran has retaliated with widespread missile and drone strikes across the Persian Gulf after coordinated attacks by Israel and the United States.
Commercial flights in the area are currently grounded due to the conflict and while the Al-Nassr ace is reportedly still in the country and continuing training, his aircraft left at around 8pm on Monday, according to flight-tracking data. It reportedly travelled west over Egypt and landed in Madrid at 1am
This jet boasts some high-end features, including a state-of-the-art entertainment system and a stand-up shower. We take a look at how Ronaldo and his family, including fiancée Georgina Rodriguez, often travel.
Ronaldo reportedly purchased the jet in late 2024 for a whopping £61m. It underwent a series of customisations. It can carry a maximum of 17 people and reach speeds of up to 956km/h with its two Rolls-Royce Pearl engines.

The Portugal icon's jet features a custom livery. Its black exterior includes his CR7 logo and a silhouette of his famous celebration. Inside, there are comfortable leather seats and a conference suite.
A private suite is the main attraction, featuring an en-suite with plenty of natural light. This lavatory includes a stand-up shower, a vanity sink and a large wardrobe. There are also separate quarters for the crew.
The 4K entertainment system consists of two ultra-high-definition 24-inch displays and super high-fidelity speakers. Regarding internet connectivity, the jet also features high-speed Wi-Fi.
The aircraft is one of the most comfortable of its kind thanks to its Smooth Flex Wing technology, which is supposed to dampen turbulence and act as a shock absorber in any weather.
For the pilot, the cockpit is as spacious as one could ask for, with an industry-leading flight deck. It is also one of the first in the industry to offer a combined vision system to help in harsh weather conditions.

It can fly over 6,000 miles without stopping and claims to be able to land at some of the most difficult airfields in Europe, including London City and St. Moritz.
Although his jet has left, Ronaldo remains in Saudi Arabia and his club uploaded a picture of the 41-year-old in training ahead of a match against Neom on Saturday. This home game is scheduled to take place in Riyadh, where it was reported on Tuesday that Iranian drones had hit the US Embassy.
