Nestle's Gulfstream lands in Oslo as Waters division faces trial

A Gulfstream G500 registered to Nestle's corporate aviation operations was tracked flying from Geneva Airport (LSGG) to Oslo-Gardermoen (ENGM) on June 26, 2026, completing a two-hour-eight-minute journey at an altitude of 43,025 feet.

If Nestle executives were aboard, the timing would place them in Norway the same week the company's Waters division faces trial in France over allegations of illegally dumping hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of plastic waste at sites near Contrex and Hépar, per a June 1 report from FoodNavigator. The trial follows raids on Nestle Waters sites in May by French anti-fraud authorities investigating claims of deceit over water treatment processes that allegedly stripped the mineral water of its 'natural' designation.

The flight to Oslo breaks from Nestle's typical European business circuits—London, Paris, Zurich, Frankfurt—and comes just days after the company's CEO Philipp Navratil outlined a 'RIG-led growth' strategy at the dbAccess Global Consumer Conference in Paris, as reported by FoodNavigator. The Scandinavian destination suggests either a regional management meeting or a portfolio review related to Nestle's Nordic operations, which fall under its newly simplified Nutrition division.
