Lakshmi Mittal touched down at Boeing Field in Seattle on June 8, flying his Bombardier Global 7500 (G-LOBX) from Great Falls, Montana, in just over an hour. The brief hop followed a transatlantic leg from London to Great Falls the previous day, suggesting a multi-stop North American itinerary.

The Seattle visit comes as Mittal continues to reposition his personal and business affairs amid the UK tax regime changes that prompted him to shift his tax residence to Switzerland in 2024. While the specific purpose of the Seattle stop has not been disclosed, the region is home to Boeing, a major consumer of aerospace-grade steel—a key product for ArcelorMittal, where Mittal remains executive chairman.

The trip continues a pattern of frequent transatlantic travel seen in recent weeks, with the steel billionaire shuttling between Europe, the Middle East, and North America. His Global 7500, delivered in 2021, logged flights from Nice to London and London to Montana before the Seattle leg, underscoring the expansive geography of his business interests.
