Their fleet includes a Bombardier Global 6000 (VT-CDP), a Gulfstream G550, and an Airbus H145 helicopter for travel between Pune and Mumbai. In 2019, Adar took delivery of India's first fully customised ACH145 helicopter from Airbus. The family's primary base is Pune Airport (VAPO), located near their 247-acre estate and Serum Institute headquarters. Their Global 6000 has a range of 11,112 km enabling nonstop flights to London, Paris, Tokyo and Singapore.

Yes. Celebplanes tracks 4 aircraft associated with Poonawalla Family: a Bombardier Global 6500 (VT-CCA), a Bombardier Global 6500 (VT-CDC), a Bombardier Global 6500 (VT-NAD) and a Bombardier Global 6000 (VT-CDP). Every movement is logged from the public ADS-B broadcast, so the flight history on this page is a record of the aircraft, not of who was aboard.
Poonawalla Family flies 2 aircraft: Bombardier Global 6500, Bombardier Global 6000 (VT-CCA, VT-CDC, VT-NAD, VT-CDP). Live tracking, full flight history, and CO₂ emissions for each aircraft are available on this page.
Poonawalla Family owns 4 tracked aircraft across 2 types: VT-CCA (Bombardier Global 6500), VT-CDC (Bombardier Global 6500), VT-NAD (Bombardier Global 6500) and VT-CDP (Bombardier Global 6000). This is the count Celebplanes can evidence from public registration and ADS-B records; aircraft held through undisclosed entities or chartered rather than owned would not appear here.
Poonawalla Family flies a Bombardier Global 6500 — Ultra Long Range class, 6,600 nm range, seating up to 17 (registration VT-CCA). 3 further aircraft are tracked on this page: Bombardier Global 6500 (VT-CDC), Bombardier Global 6500 (VT-NAD) and Bombardier Global 6000 (VT-CDP).
Poonawalla Family flies a Bombardier Global 6500 (VT-CCA). A new Bombardier Global 6500 lists at approximately $58 million before options and completion — indicative mid-2026 market figures, not an appraisal. Actual value turns on airframe hours, engine-programme enrolment and cabin configuration.

Poonawalla Family's private jet tail numbers are VT-CCA (Bombardier Global 6500), VT-CDC (Bombardier Global 6500), VT-NAD (Bombardier Global 6500), VT-CDP (Bombardier Global 6000). Each registration links to the live tracking page with full flight history, fuel burn and CO₂ emissions on Celebplanes.
Poonawalla Family's Bombardier Global 6500 (VT-CCA) burns roughly 450 gallons of Jet-A per hour, which converts to about 4,323 kg of CO₂ per flight hour — equivalent to roughly 10,700 miles of average passenger-car driving.
Poonawalla Family's home base is Pune Airport (Lohegaon Air Force Station) (VAPO / PNQ), with frequent destinations including VABB, VIDP, VOBL, EGLL.
Across 49 tracked flights (133 flight hours) on Celebplanes, Poonawalla Family's aircraft have emitted approximately 567.6t of CO₂. These figures are calculated from public ADS-B flight times multiplied by manufacturer-published fuel burn × the EPA standard 9.57 kg CO₂/gallon for Jet-A.
Yes. Every transponder-equipped aircraft broadcasts unencrypted ADS-B position data continuously, by FAA mandate. Celebplanes aggregates this public broadcast from ADSB Exchange, ADSB.fi, FlightRadar24 and airplanes.live — the same sources used by news outlets and academic researchers.
