Aflac departs Georgia for Washington after reporting strong Q1 earnings

Aflac's Gulfstream G280 (N280AF) touched down at Washington Dulles International Airport on May 21 after a 1-hour, 36-minute flight from Waverly Landing Airport in Georgia. The trip is the latest in a series of business hops for the Columbus-based insurer, which has been shuttling between regional airports and major hubs in recent weeks.

The Washington visit comes on the heels of Aflac's announcement of strong first-quarter earnings for 2026, per a company report covered by nopzon.com. With the insurer also launching a new paid family leave office in Maine, the timing suggests meetings with federal regulators or lawmakers on the company's expanding government footprint.

Aflac's flight history shows frequent trips to Washington—a recurring destination per celebplanes data—typically for congressional outreach and investor briefings. The G280's stop at Dulles, rather than Reagan National, hints at a full day of Capitol Hill or agency visits before the return to Georgia.
