The Buckingham Luxor is a fixed-wing private jet in Grand Theft Auto V. It is the luxurious variant of the Shamal business jet.
Design
The Luxor seems to combine features of the Cessna Citation 560/650, Sovereign, and the Learjet 45. It has a mahogany interior and seats for 10 people. It is the same design as the Shamal.
Performance
The Luxor is a good way for a leisurely flight but not so in a competitive way. While being the fourth fastest, (the first being the P-996 Lazer, the second being the Besra and the third being the Vestra) the Luxor has the weakest mobility and the largest 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.

Trivia
- The emblem on the back of the Luxor is actually the German 15th century coat of arms.
- The Luxor was originally supposed to be colored white instead of black.
- Unlike the Jet, it cannot be seen taking off, only landing.
- The Luxor is essentially a private jet version of the Shamal, while the Shamal is civilian and commercial.
- Elitas Travel's page of the Luxor says that "Internet Entrepreneur Tony McTony owns one in red with a huge yellow M on the side, custom-fitted with chandeliers, gold toilets, seal-skin waterbeds, DJ booth, marble statue of himself, dogfighting ring, bottom-less flight attendants, and a margarita machine in the cockpit.".
- Its livery might suggest it is based off of Etihad Airways the Emirati Airline based out of Abu Dhabi.
- It is possible the airlines San Fierro Air and Los Santos Air use fleets of Luxors, as both are assigned terminals at Los Santos International Airport, yet do not have any marked aircraft and multiple Luxors are present in the area.
- The Luxor cannot fit in Trevor's hanger by reversing it. However, if placed in by going forwards and then leave the area, it will spawn there and the tail should slide out when accelerating.
- In GTA V, despite the plane being able to sit 10 people including the pilot in Online mode, it cannot sit more than 2 persons in singleplayer. If you reunite all three protagonists and enter a Luxor, one of the two will sit next to you and the third will stand out of the plane.
Glitches
- When you damage the nose of the plane, it will somehow become transparent.
