Andrew Forrest's Bombardier Global 7500, tail number VH-FMG, was tracked flying from Brzezie Highway Strip in Poland to Berlin Brandenburg Airport on June 25, 2026, a short 47-minute hop after a longer journey from Central Asia the previous day.

If Andrew Forrest was aboard, he would arrive in Berlin the same week a landmark class action was filed against Fortescue Metals Group in Australia, alleging sexual assault and discrimination against women workers at remote Pilbara camps, per ABC News. The flight also follows a Federal Court order for Fortescue to pay $150 million to the Yindjibarndi people for mining without consent and destroying 124 culturally significant sites, as reported by 19News.au.

The aircraft's recent flight path from Kazakhstan suggests a broader itinerary, possibly connecting Forrest's green energy advocacy — he recently called for an end to diesel subsidies at a Sydney conference, per RenewEconomy — with European investor or policy meetings amid Fortescue's mounting legal and reputational pressures.
