Gautam Adani flies to London as DOJ moves to drop criminal charges

Gautam Adani flew from a private airstrip in southern England to Farnborough Airport on June 15, 2026, a 66-minute hop aboard his Bombardier Global 6500 (VT-AGL). The short domestic leg came after a week of transcontinental travel that included stops in Geneva, Scotland, and India.

The same week, the U.S. Department of Justice is expected to formally move to dismiss criminal fraud charges against Gautam Adani, per a report from Law.com. The move follows a May 15 settlement with the SEC in which Gautam Adani agreed to pay $6 million — and his nephew Sagar Adani $12 million — to resolve civil fraud allegations tied to a $250 million bribery scheme involving Indian solar contracts [bbc.co.uk](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g82p5ygp8o). The settlement admits no wrongdoing.

Gautam Adani's recent flight history shows a pattern of shuttling between Gujarat, Europe, and the UK in recent weeks — including a June 13 hop from Ahmedabad to Cairo and a June 11 leg from London to Paris. With the U.S. legal cloud lifting, the chairman's travel may now shift from crisis management back to the group's core infrastructure and energy operations.
