King Abdullah II's Bombardier Global 7500, tail VP-BHM, was tracked departing Point Mugu Naval Air Station in California on June 27, arriving at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport after a 2-hour 34-minute flight. The aircraft had been in the region since at least June 23, when it was recorded near the Santa Clara area.

If King Abdullah II was aboard, the flight would follow his reported presence at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara on June 23, where the Jordanian royal family, including Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa, cheered on Jordan's national team in their first-ever World Cup match [thenationalnews.com](https://www.thenationalnews.com/lifestyle/2026/06/23/king-abdullah-crown-prince-hussein-and-princess-rajwa-support-jordan-as-world-cup-dream-comes-to-an-end/). Jordan lost 2-1 to Algeria, ending their knockout hopes. A brief stop in Dallas – a major aviation hub – could indicate a refueling stop or a connection to another destination, though the aircraft's onward movement remains unconfirmed.

The flight from California to Dallas continues a pattern of recent movements: the aircraft had flown from Nashville to San Jose on June 21, then to Point Mugu on June 23. King Abdullah II regularly uses his aircraft for diplomatic travel, but the timing here – just days after the World Cup match – suggests the journey is likely personal and logistical rather than political.
