A WWE corporate plane travelled to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Sunday 14 February, returning the following day, marking the first time a company jet has flown internationally in around a year.

Heel by Nature have published an investigation into the matter. The site's research shows that WWE's corporate plane left Westchester County Airport in New York on Sunday, arrived in Dublin, Ireland 5 hours and 31 minutes later, then departed for an unlisted location after around an hour. The plane was photographed in Dublin before leaving.

The tracking information then picked up again on Monday, as the aircraft left Riyadh's King Khaled International Airport for Dublin once more, stopping off there for another break before departing for Westchester County via Newark Liberty International Airport.

WWE last flew the jet internationally for Super ShowDown 2020 in Riyadh last February. There's currently no word on who, exactly, was aboard the flight, though it looks like the plane was in Saudi Arabia for just over a day.

The ongoing global health crisis has prevented WWE from holding shows in Saudi Arabia since Super ShowDown 2020, depriving them of a lucrative revenue stream.
