Poonawalla Family flies to Bangalore after closing record London mansion deal

Poonawalla Family flew from Mumbai's Juhu Aerodrome to Bangalore on June 19, 2026, aboard their Bombardier Global 6500 (VT-CCA), a 1-hour 19-minute hop that touched down just after noon local time. The flight follows a week of transcontinental movement: the family returned from London on June 17, where Adar Poonawalla had just closed on Aberconway House, the most expensive residential property sold in London this year at approximately ₹1,446 crore, per a report from the Financial Times cited by Brutimes.

The Bangalore visit comes as the Serum Institute of India, the world's largest vaccine manufacturer by doses, continues its global expansion. The family maintains a recurring presence in Karnataka's capital, a hub for biotech and pharmaceutical partnerships. While no public event was announced for this specific date, the pattern of travel — including a prior Bangalore-to-Pune leg on June 12 — suggests routine business engagements for the Poonawalla family's sprawling enterprise.

The trip also underscores the utility of their long-range fleet: the Global 6500, capable of nonstop flights to London or Tokyo, was pressed into service for a short domestic sector after the family's high-value real estate and diplomatic circuits in Europe. For a family that built a $20 billion vaccine empire from a Pune stud farm, as detailed by the Financial Express, a quick hop to Bangalore is simply another day's work.
