Altria flies from Richmond to Bridgeport ahead of annual shareholder meeting

Altria flew from Richmond International Airport to Igor I Sikorsky Memorial Airport in Bridgeport, Connecticut on June 5, 2026, a 47-minute hop aboard its Gulfstream G600, tail number N805AG. The aircraft departed KRIC at 1:12 p.m. UTC and touched down at KBDR just before 2:00 p.m. UTC, cruising at 23,000 feet.

The trip lands Altria in Fairfield County the same week the company holds its 2026 annual meeting of shareholders, scheduled for June 9 at the Stamford Marriott Hotel & Spa, per the proxy statement filed with the SEC. The meeting covers standard corporate agenda items, including the election of directors and a ratification of Altria’s independent auditor. Chief Executive Billy Gifford, who has a time-sharing agreement with Altria Client Services LLC for personal use of company aircraft under FAR Section 91.501(b)(6), likely flew in for the gathering.

Altria’s home base is Richmond, and the N805AG has made frequent trips to the New York-Connecticut corridor in recent weeks. The same aircraft flew twice to Richmond from Bridgeport-area airspace on May 15, with round trips lasting just over an hour each — suggesting this is a well-worn route for meetings and governance events.
