Adobe Inc's Gulfstream lands in Shannon the week of a historic CEO transition

Adobe Inc's Gulfstream G650ER, registered N82123, was tracked departing San Jose International Airport on September 7 and arriving at Shannon Airport in Ireland after an 8-hour, 31-minute flight. The aircraft, operated under FAR Part 91 and explicitly blocked from public ADS-B tracking per owner request, is primarily used by the company's CEO for business matters, with a $400,000 annual personal-use allowance. As always, celebplanes tracks the aircraft — not who was aboard.

If Adobe Inc was on this flight, the timing would place the company in Ireland the same week a seismic leadership change was announced. On September 3, Adobe named Anil Chakravarthy as its next president and CEO, effective December 1, with Shantanu Narayen transitioning to executive chair [bloomberg.com](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-09-03/adobe-names-chakravarthy-ceo-to-lead-effort-against-ai-rivals) [cnbc.com](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/03/adobe-anil-chakravarthy-ceo.html). The move, covered by multiple outlets, signals a strategic pivot toward AI-driven customer experience orchestration, Chakravarthy's specialty. Shannon, a common tech stop for transatlantic flights, is also within easy reach of Adobe's Dublin office — a major European hub for the company.
