Mukesh Ambani's Bombardier Global 7500, tail number VT-ASR, flew from Begumpet Airport in Hyderabad to the same airport on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. The aircraft departed at 06:32 UTC and landed at 06:40 UTC, spending 8 minutes in the air. The great-circle distance was 26 nautical miles, or 30 miles. The highest altitude reached was 6,950 feet, and the top ground speed was 188 knots.

The flight covered a short 26 nm at an average speed well below the Global 7500's top speed of Mach 0.925. The aircraft burned an estimated 58 US gallons of fuel, producing about 561 kg of CO2, equivalent to driving a car 1,388 miles. The Global 7500 has a range of 7,700 nm, a ceiling of 51,000 feet, and typically seats 13 passengers, with a maximum of 19. It entered service in 2018.

VT-ASR last landed at Hyderabad on October 7, 2026, 28 days before this flight. Mukesh Ambani's home base is Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai, 334 nm from Hyderabad. His usual destinations include Tokyo, Bangkok, Dubai, Muscat, Malé, and Jeddah. In the 30 days before this flight, his two aircraft made 21 flights, spending 78.3 hours in the air and covering about 30,726 nm.

Mukesh Ambani is the chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries, India's largest company by revenue at roughly $125 billion. He lives at Antilia in Mumbai, a 27-storey private skyscraper. No public events or company meetings tied to Mukesh Ambani were reported in Hyderabad on this date.

The flight was a brief repositioning within the same airport. It followed a pattern of short hops by VT-ASR, including a 1-minute flight from Solapur to Kalaburagi earlier that day.

The aircraft is registered to Reliance Commercial Dealers Ltd, the same Reliance subsidiary that holds the owner's other plane, a Boeing 737 MAX 9 BBJ with tail number VT-AKV. That plane is India's first MAX 9 BBJ and arrived in August 2024 with customization costing more than $120 million. The Global 7500 has four living zones and a 54.4-foot cabin. A Global 8000 upgrade is available.

The most common destinations were Mumbai with 14 landings, New Delhi with 3 landings, and Zaventem in Belgium with 2 landings. The longest leg in that window was a 3,708-nautical-mile flight from Zaventem to Mumbai on October 9, 2026, flown by the Boeing 737 MAX 9 BBJ.

Recent flights by the same owner include a November 1 trip from Vienna to Mumbai covering 3,218 nautical miles in 7 hours 47 minutes, and a November 1 flight from Newark to Vienna covering 3,685 nautical miles in 8 hours 24 minutes.
