Poonawalla Family flew from Bangor, Maine to London Luton on May 28 in their Bombardier Global 6500, a 6-hour 20-minute transatlantic hop. The aircraft reached 41,000 feet before descending into the UK capital.

The same week, Bloomberg reported that Serum Institute of India is roadshowing a potential London listing or a major equity raise, with meetings scheduled with institutional investors in the City. The London trip aligns with a busy period for the family: recent flights show Adar Poonawalla transited through Chandigarh on May 28 and Los Angeles on May 27, suggesting the Bangor stop was a fuel-and-clearance break on a longer journey from North America. Luton, not Heathrow, is a frequent private-aviation gateway for the family, according to their flight history.

The short hop from Maine to England, followed by a fixed-base operator stop, fits the pattern of a working family moving between vaccine-manufacturing business hubs, with London providing both finance and pharma connections this week.
