Jack Ma has made only one public appearance since upsetting the Chinese government last October in an incendiary speech that led to the suspension of Ant Group’s record $37bn initial public offering.
But the Financial Times has obtained the flight details of his private jet, which suggest that while the 56-year-old Chinese billionaire is down, he is far from out.
The flight logs, compiled with data from Radarbox, a flight tracking company, also dispel rumours that he has fled China to Singapore or been put under house arrest. Instead, they suggest that Ma continues to have access to his Gulfstream jet, which has a range that could easily carry him as far as New York or London.
