Mike Cannon-Brookes’s aircraft returns to Sydney from Bengaluru after a whirlwind global swing

Mike Cannon-Brookes’s Bombardier Global 7500, registered N1711M, was tracked arriving at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport at 3:01 AM local time on August 26, 2026, following a 10-hour, 16-minute flight from Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru. The aircraft reached a max altitude of 45,000 feet and a top ground speed of 584.7 knots before touching down in Australia’s largest city.

Should Mike Cannon-Brookes have been aboard, he would return to Sydney in the immediate aftermath of Atlassian’s AI-themed executive offsite, held just weeks after the publication of the tell-all book Tech Bros. As detailed by srocpower.com, the retreat was led by Cannon-Brookes and notably excluded co-founder Scott Farquhar. The timing of the Bengaluru–Sydney leg—sandwiched between earlier stops in Munich, Amsterdam, Bangkok, and Canberra—raises the possibility that the aircraft was used to shuttle the Atlassian CEO from a European leg of the trip back toward Asia-Pacific headquarters.

The Bengaluru stopover itself is notable: the city is home to Atlassian’s significant Indian engineering and product hub. Earlier in August, per the Sydney Morning Herald, watched his personal stake in Atlassian surge by roughly $2.6 billion overnight after the company posted its first quarterly operating profit in two years and an AI-powered developer tool, Rovo, passed one million monthly active users.
