Gautam Adani lands in Alexandria the week US charges are dropped

Gautam Adani flew from Annecy, France, to Borg El Arab Airport in Alexandria, Egypt, on June 19, 2026, aboard his Embraer Legacy 650 (VT-AHM), a 3-hour 28-minute hop across the Mediterranean. The flight lands the same week the U.S. Department of Justice formally dropped criminal fraud charges against the Adani Group chairman, per a May 18 motion filed in the Eastern District of New York [bbc.com](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g7453ve6ro).

Prosecutors had accused Gautam Adani and his nephew Sagar of paying $250 million in bribes for Indian solar contracts and misleading U.S. investors. The dismissal — part of what The Wall Street Journal called a Trump administration shift away from foreign bribery prosecutions — follows a $275 million settlement with the Treasury over alleged Iran sanctions violations and an $18 million SEC civil settlement [economictimes.indiatimes.com](https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/stocks/news/adani-group-stocks-in-focus-as-us-justice-department-drops-all-charges-against-billionaire-gautam-adani/articleshow/131189883.cms).

The Alexandria stop is unusual for Gautam Adani, whose recent flights have shuttled between London, Geneva, and Ahmedabad. The visit may involve the group's Mediterranean port operations or a private stop en route to India, as legal pressure eases and the chairman returns to core business.
