The Bombardier Global 7500 bearing registration G-LOBX tracked from Teterboro Airport (KTEB) to London Luton Airport (EGGW) on June 24, covering the 5-hour 53-minute crossing at a maximum altitude of 41,000 feet. The aircraft belongs to Lakshmi Mittal, executive chairman of ArcelorMittal, and while Celebplanes tracks metal, not people, the sequence of recent flights suggests a plausible narrative.

If Lakshmi Mittal was aboard, the trip would follow a week of North American activity that included a video address at the World Steel Dynamics Global Steel Dynamics Forum in New York on June 18, as reported by [The Tribune](https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/business/india-to-drive-next-phase-of-global-steel-demand-says-lakshmi-mittal-as-arcelormittal-marks-20-years/). In that speech, Mittal declared that “India’s turn” had come to drive global steel demand through infrastructure, urban housing, and energy transition investments. A return to London — where he maintains a long-time residence on Kensington Palace Gardens — would be consistent with a post-forum itinerary.

The aircraft’s recent log shows multiple transatlantic hops: London Luton to the Boston area on June 22, then to Teterboro on June 24, before the evening departure back to Luton. Mittal, who shifted his tax residence to Switzerland last year but retains UK ties, often alternates between Geneva, London, Luxembourg, and New York. Should he have been on this flight, the week’s movements align with a concentrated round of North American business and industry engagements.
