Aflac flew from Thomaston, Georgia to Boston Logan on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, a two-hour hop aboard the company's Gulfstream G280, tail number N280AF. The flight touched down just after 2 p.m. local time.

The same week, Boston hosts the annual Aflac Duck Cancer Walk, a major fundraising event for pediatric cancer research organized by the insurer and its longtime mascot. The walk is scheduled for this weekend on the Boston Common, per the event's official listing and local news coverage. Aflac has deep ties to the region through its charitable foundation and its large New England employee base.

In recent weeks, Aflac's G280 has shuttled between Columbus HQ, Chicago, New York, and Denver. The Boston detour is a clear sign the company's leadership is on site for a cause central to Aflac's identity — not a board meeting or an acquisition, but a duck walk.
