Gautam Adani's Bombardier Global 6500 (VT-AGL) was tracked departing Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport at 15:30 UTC on June 27, touching down at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport 54 minutes later after a 31000-foot cruise over western India.

If Gautam Adani was aboard, he would land in Ahmedabad the same week his legal team pressed a Brooklyn federal judge to formally dismiss the remaining criminal indictment — the Justice Department had already moved to drop charges with prejudice last month, per [economictimes.indiatimes.com](https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/lawyers-for-gautam-adani-urge-us-judge-to-dismiss-criminal-case/articleshow/131979912.cms). That push follows a $6 million SEC settlement and a $275 million Treasury sanctions accord that have effectively cleared the group's US legal overhang, though [law.com](https://www.law.com/international-edition/2026/06/12/us-lawmakers-are-pressing-the-doj-on-its-decision-to-abandon-a-high-profile-fraud-and-bribery-case-against-indian-billionaire-gautam-adani/) reports Democratic senators continue to question the DOJ's exit.

The short Mumbai–Ahmedabad hop fits a pattern: Gautam Adani's aircraft has been shuttling between Delhi, Mumbai and Gujarat repeatedly in recent weeks, often returning to the home base after meetings in the financial or political capitals. With the AGM held earlier this week and legal proceedings reaching a conclusion, the return leg may signal a shift back to the group's core infrastructure operations.
