Shell lands in Bergamo the week of a major energy conference

Shell flew from Bologna to Bergamo on June 5, 2026, a brief 28-minute hop in a Dassault Falcon 7X (tail VQ-BXH) operated by Shell Aircraft International. The flight departed Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport at 10:27 UTC and arrived at Il Caravaggio International Airport just before 11:00 UTC, cruising at a modest 14,000 feet.

The same week, Bergamo is hosting the 2026 Energy Transition Forum, a key industry gathering where Shell executives are expected to discuss decarbonization strategies and renewable investments, per the event's official agenda. The short flight from Bologna—where Shell has operational ties to the region's refining and petrochemical supply chains—suggests a stopover for meetings before heading to the conference.

Shell's corporate aviation arm, based at Rotterdam The Hague Airport with a fleet of three Falcon 8X aircraft, has been active across Europe this week. Recent flights show movements between Rotterdam, London, and Bologna, consistent with the company's pattern of shuttling senior leadership between operational hubs and high-level industry events.
