Dassault Falcon 7X
M-CELT · ICAO: 43E8B1 · Heavy jet

Dermot Desmond is an Irish financier with a net worth estimated around €2 billion, ranking him among Ireland's ten wealthiest people. He founded NCB Stockbrokers in 1981, built it into the largest independent brokerage in Ireland, and sold it in 1994 for about $39 million, then set up his private equity vehicle International Investment & Underwriting (IIU). His best-known trade was London City Airport: bought for £23.5 million in 1995 and sold for £750 million in 2006.
He began investing in Celtic FC in 1994 and has been the club's largest shareholder since 1999, when he bought out Fergus McCann's remaining stake; he holds just under 35% and is a regular presence in the directors' box at Celtic Park.
M-CELT is a Dassault Falcon 7X on the Isle of Man register (hex 43E8B1), held through Concierge U Ltd — the registry entry names the holding company rather than him, which is normal for M- tails. The attribution rests on the aircraft being repeatedly photographed and captioned as his by press and stock agencies, and on the registration itself, which is a deliberate nod to Celtic. Expect Dublin as the base, Glasgow for match days, London for IIU business, and Barbados, where he is a co-owner of the Sandy Lane resort.

Yes. The FAA requires planes with transponders to broadcast their position over ADS-B, and the signal is not encrypted. We collect that public data from adsb.lol and ADSB.fi, two open flight-tracking networks. News outlets and university researchers use the same kind of data. Our methodology page explains how it works.
