Shell's Falcon 7X lands in London the day of its LNG supply warning

Shell's aircraft, a Dassault Falcon 7X registered as VQ-BXH, was tracked flying from Nasosnaya Air Base in Azerbaijan to Damyns Hall Aerodrome in the UK on June 30, 2026. The flight took 5 hours and 25 minutes, cruising at up to 43,025 feet.

If Shell executives were aboard, they would arrive on the same day the company published its annual LNG Outlook, warning that global liquefied natural gas supply could contract in 2026 if disruption in the Strait of Hormuz continues, per a report by Investing.com. The aircraft lands in London the week Shell issues its starkest assessment yet of the conflict's impact on energy markets, noting that a fifth of global monthly LNG supply remains unable to exit the waterway and that Asian spot prices have exceeded $20 per million British thermal units.

The aircraft's movements show a busy prior week: it flew from Rotterdam to Azerbaijan on June 28, then to Bahrain on June 26, and back to the Netherlands — a route that mirrors the Persian Gulf energy corridor at the center of Shell's supply concerns [investing.com](https://ng.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/shell-warns-lng-supply-may-fall-on-hormuz-disruption-93CH-2580530). The timing suggests the flight aligns with Shell's senior leadership convening in London to brief markets on the Middle East crisis and the company's long-term demand forecast.
