The Buckingham Luxor is a fixed-wing private jet in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Design[]
The Luxor is essentially the private jet version of the Shamal, with a mahogany interior and seats for 10 people.
The Luxor is distinguishable by its black and white/gold paint scheme, with an emblem located on the tail. The aircraft features multiple yellow/gold swept back lines down the side of the fuselage to the empennage, as well as stripes on the winglets.
Performance[]
The Luxor is a good way for a leisurely flight but not so in a competitive way. The Luxor is on par with the Shamal as the fifth-fastest aircraft, outperformed by the Hydra, P-996 LAZER, Besra, and Vestra. However, the Luxor has the least mobility and the greatest vehicle mass in a GTA Online Air Race; It won't take corners as sharply as the Duster but it can keep up a good lead in the straight.
The size and weight of the Luxor along with its retractable gear produce enough drag to tear the landing gear off, and in reality is highly advised against to leave landing gear protruded.

Modifications[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
Upon being converted into a personal aircraft, the Luxor can only be repainted with a primary colour, which affects the shading of the vehicle, as it has an unremovable livery. Only the "Emergency Exit" marked section appears to reflect the actual colour.

- When the nose of the plane is damaged, it will somehow become transparent.[ref?]
Trivia[]
General[]
- The emblem on the tail of the Luxor is actually the coat of arms of Emperor Rudolf II of Habsburg.[2]
- Its livery might suggest it is based on Etihad Airways, the Emirati Airline based out of Abu Dhabi.
- In keeping with Rockstar's tradition of naming their business jets after Egyptian and Arabic terms, the Luxor (and the Luxor Deluxe) is named after the ancient Egyptian city of the same name.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
- Despite the plane being able to sit 10 people including the pilot in Grand Theft Auto Online, it cannot sit more than 2 persons in Story Mode. If the player reunites all the three protagonists and enters a Luxor, one of the two not controlled by the player will sit next to the player and the third will not board the plane.
- A picture of the Luxor can be seen in the Max Payne 3 multiplayer map "Tiete River Docks" along with pictures of a Shamal, a Titan and a Hydra.
- In the enhanced version, there is a strange triangle-shaped texture found on the interior, between the front right row of seats. This texture shape bears slight resemblance to the Speedophile logo.
