Becton Dickinson's Falcon 7X lands in Manchester after a strong quarter

Becton Dickinson flew from Morristown Municipal Airport to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport on May 25, 2026, a 41-minute hop in its Dassault Falcon 7X, N294X. The flight arrived just after 6:44 p.m. local time.

The trip comes the same week BD reported fiscal second-quarter results that beat expectations, per a May 7 SEC filing. The company raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance, citing broad-based growth and margin momentum. CEO Tom Polen likely used the short flight to visit BD's manufacturing and innovation campus in Nashua, New Hampshire, about 15 miles from Manchester, where the company produces medical devices and advances its product pipeline.

The visit fits a pattern of regular travel by Polen, who has a time-sharing agreement with BD for personal use of the aircraft. Recent flights show trips to Jacksonville, Napa, Salt Lake City, and Las Vegas, suggesting a mix of business and personal itineraries. Manchester, while not a recurring destination, aligns with BD's operational footprint in the region.
