Bank of America flew its Gulfstream G280 (N228BA) from Grand Rapids, Michigan, to San Antonio on June 11, touching down just after 4:18 p.m. local time after a two-hour, 28-minute flight. The trip, operated from Bank of America’s sprawling corporate aviation fleet, came near the end of a week that saw the bank’s leadership on the road and under scrutiny.

The same week, Bank of America co-president James DeMare presented at the Morgan Stanley US Financials Conference in New York on June 9, where he discussed the bank’s focus on “wealth continuum” and business integration, per a transcript from Seeking Alpha. Meanwhile, the U.S. Justice Department subpoenaed Bank of America as part of a widening probe into whether major banks improperly closed accounts for political reasons, as reported by Benzinga. Both events offer context for the bank’s elevated travel tempo this month: the G280 alone has logged flights between Michigan, Colorado, Texas, and Wisconsin in recent days, supporting executive appearances, legal compliance work, and client meetings across the bank’s far-flung operations.
