Poonawalla Family's Bombardier Global 6500 lands in Mumbai after a short hop from Aamby Valley

Poonawalla Family's Bombardier Global 6500, tail VT-CDC, was tracked departing Aamby Valley Airport (VAAV) at 15:19 UTC on 26 June 2026 and landing at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (VABB) 24 minutes later, after a brief 8,175-foot hop over the Western Ghats.

If Poonawalla Family was aboard, the timing would align with a return to India's financial and commercial capital at the tail end of a weekend. Aamby Valley, a luxury hill-station enclave roughly 90 km east of Mumbai, is a known retreat for high-net-worth families. The short flight — barely longer than a car can manage on the winding Mumbai-Pune Expressway — suggests convenience over necessity, a familiar pattern for the family that operates its own fleet of fixed-wing and rotary aircraft.

The family's aircraft activity this month shows far longer journeys: a run to Singapore on 23 June, a London departure on 17 June, and a Bengaluru–Pune leg on 19 June. This Aamby Valley–Mumbai hop, by contrast, fits the profile of a controlled, private transfer from a leisure property back to the city where Serum Institute of India's corporate operations and the family's 247-acre Pune estate are based — no public event required to explain it.
