Lakshmi Mittal's aircraft lands at Luton the week of his reported UK exit

Lakshmi Mittal's Bombardier Global 7500 (registration G-LOBX) was tracked flying from Laurence G Hanscom Field in Bedford, Massachusetts, to London Luton Airport on June 27, 2026, completing the 5-hour 37-minute crossing at 07:31 UTC. The aircraft had departed Boston just hours earlier, following a brief overnight stay in the area.

If Lakshmi Mittal was aboard, he would land in London the same week reports surfaced that he is leaving the United Kingdom for Dubai, driven by the Labour government's planned tax increases on high-net-worth individuals, including a potential 40% inheritance tax, per [timesnownews.com](https://www.timesnownews.com/business-economy/economy/why-steel-tycoon-lakshmi-mittal-is-leaving-uk-the-rich-tax-issue-explained-article-153201454). The timing would suggest a trip to finalise personal or business affairs before a permanent shift in tax residence.

The flight continues a pattern of transatlantic shuttles between the New York/Boston corridor and London, following Lakshmi Mittal's appearance at the Global Steel Dynamics Forum in New York earlier in the week, where he predicted India would lead the next phase of global steel demand, as covered by [economictimes.indiatimes.com](https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/indl-goods/svs/steel/india-to-lead-next-phase-of-global-steel-demand-says-lakshmi-mittal/articleshow/131836996.cms). His home base remains Geneva, but London Luton remains a frequent destination for the ArcelorMittal executive chairman.
