Aflac flew from Newark Liberty International Airport to Columbia, South Carolina, early on June 4, 2026, a 1-hour-22-minute hop in its Gulfstream G280, tail number N280AF. The flight arrived at a private airstrip near the company's Columbus, Georgia headquarters at 3:04 a.m. local time.

The same week, Aflac is hosting its 2026 Annual Shareholder Meeting in Columbus, per the company's investor relations calendar. The meeting, scheduled for June 5, covers executive compensation, board elections, and a vote on the company's supplemental insurance growth strategy in Japan. CEO Daniel Amos is expected to lead the presentation, which follows the insurer's first-quarter earnings report in April.

The Newark-to-Columbia leg fits a pattern: Aflac's G280 flew from Boston to Columbus on June 2, then to Newark on June 3, suggesting a multi-city business swing ahead of the shareholder gathering. The aircraft's recurring visits to Atlanta, Tokyo, and Washington, D.C., reflect Aflac's dual U.S.-Japan operations and regulatory footprint.
