Andrew Forrest's jet lands in Cascais as Fortescue faces landmark class action

Andrew Forrest's Bombardier Global 7500, tail VH-FMG, was tracked flying from Werneuchen Airfield in Germany to Cascais Airport in Portugal on 26 June, a three-hour-and-thirteen-minute hop across Europe.

If Andrew Forrest was on the flight, the timing places him in Cascais the same week a landmark class action was filed in the Federal Court of Australia alleging sexual assault and discrimination at Fortescue Metals Group, as reported by ABC News [abc.net.au](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06-25/fortescue-metals-group-sexual-harassment-class-action/106823314). The case comes on the heels of a separate $150 million native title compensation order against the company for mining on Yindjibarndi land without consent.

Recent flights for the same aircraft show movements from Kazakhstan to Poland, and then Poland to Germany, suggesting a European itinerary. The final leg into Cascais, a coastal town near Lisbon known for luxury retreats, could be a pause between business – or a quiet spot to review the company's response to the mounting legal pressure.
