Aflac Incorporated's Gulfstream G280, tail number N280AF, landed at Columbus Airport (KCSG) at 3:19 p.m. ET on May 20, 2026, after a 65-minute flight from Savannah Hilton Head International Airport (KSAV). The aircraft had departed Columbus earlier that morning, flew to a location in Bermuda, and then returned via Savannah.

The trip coincides with the American Cancer Society naming Aflac Incorporated its 2025 Corporate Partner of the Year, announced April 23, 2026, per a press release on PRNewswire. The recognition honors Aflac's partnership in fundraising, educational initiatives, and the Check for Cancer campaign. Aflac Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Daniel P. Amos likely accepted the award or attended related events in Savannah or Bermuda, where the company has reinsurance operations through Aflac Re Bermuda Ltd.

The flight continues a pattern of travel between Aflac's Georgia operations and Bermuda, where the company maintains a reinsurance subsidiary. On May 18, the same aircraft flew from Columbus to Bermuda, and on May 14 it flew from Newark, New Jersey, to Columbus — a route that often follows investor meetings in the Northeast. The company reported first-quarter 2026 results on April 29, with strong premium sales growth in Japan and the U.S., per its SEC filing.
