Carlos Hank Rhon's Gulfstream G650, tail number XA-CHR, was tracked departing Adolfo López Mateos International Airport outside Mexico City on June 26 and landing at Geneva International Airport after a 10-hour, 39-minute flight. The aircraft reached a maximum altitude of 45,025 feet and a top ground speed of 566.8 knots.

If Carlos Hank Rhon was aboard, he would arrive the same week the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, just across Lake Geneva, draws heads of state and thousands of delegates to the region. Geneva Airport activated a special operating plan from June 13 to 19, handling an unusually dense sequence of diplomatic flights, per a report from VisaHQ News. The airport implemented road closures, ad-hoc slot restrictions, and temporary terminal closures to accommodate motorcades for leaders including U.S. President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Annalena Baerbock. While the summit ended on June 17, residual diplomatic traffic and escorts continued through June 19.

No prior flights by this aircraft are on file, making this a standalone movement. Carlos Hank Rhon, the Mexican billionaire who built his fortune selling Grupo Financiero Interacciones to Banorte and who owns the diversified Grupo Hermes, may have leveraged the post-summit window for business or governmental meetings in the diplomatic hub.
