Lakshmi Mittal’s Bombardier Global 7500, registered G-LOBX, was tracked departing London Luton Airport on June 26, 2026, and arriving at Laurence G Hanscom Field outside Boston after a 6-hour 21-minute flight. Hanscom Field often serves as a quieter gateway to the New York/Boston corridor for private operators.

If aboard, Lakshmi Mittal would touch down ahead of the Global Steel Dynamics Forum in New York, where just last week he delivered a video message touting India as the next driver of steel demand, per The Economic Times and Fortune India. The Forum, a major industry conference, runs through early July, making a pre-arrival via Boston plausible for meetings or a private stopover before the main event.

The flight follows a pattern of recent transatlantic movements: G-LOBX made a similar hop from New York-area Teterboro to Luton on June 24, and from Luton to Teterboro on June 16–18. Mittal, executive chairman of ArcelorMittal, often shuttles between his Geneva base, Luxembourg HQ, and speaking engagements; if this trip is work-related, the Boston landing pad fits a familiar script.
