Jim Mellon flew from Bryngwyn Bach Airfield in Wales to London Oxford Airport on June 7, 2026, a 51-minute hop aboard his Embraer Phenom 300 (M-ELON). The flight arrives the same week Mellon is scheduled to speak at the PALT (Protein Alternatives) food conference in Abu Dhabi, per his own newsletter, after which he has a 14.5-hour flight to New York for the Longevity Biotech Association meeting. The Oxford landing likely positions him for a connecting trip or a stop at his family office, the Burnbrae Group.

The trip follows a pattern of short-haul business travel: Mellon flew from the Isle of Man to London Stansted on March 16, and from Ibiza to London on March 14, as recorded by Flightradar24. His recent flights show a loop between the Isle of Man, Oxford, and Liverpool, consistent with his role as executive chairman of Manx Financial Group and his investments in clean food via Agronomics, which is building a $120 million dairy-protein factory in the US.

Mellon, who has a house in Ibiza and lives part-time on the Isle of Man with his partner and 10 dogs, told Yahoo Finance in a recent interview that he works harder now at 68 than in his twenties. The Oxford stop fits his stated routine: up at 4am, no work after 6pm, and a focus on “picking the eyes out of cheap situations” in biotech and novel proteins, as he wrote on Master Investor UK.
