Becton Dickinson hops from Dulles to Manassas ahead of facility investor meeting

Becton Dickinson flew from Washington Dulles International Airport to Manassas Regional Airport on June 4, a trip that took just three minutes in the company’s Falcon 7X. The brief hop between airports likely served as a shuttle for CEO Tom Polen, who visited the company’s manufacturing and distribution center in Manassas that week. The same week, Becton Dickinson hosted an investor day at the facility, highlighting recent expansions in diagnostic production, per a company announcement.

The short flight comes amid a busy period for the medical-device maker, whose aircraft, N294X, has made multiple trips between New Jersey, Chicago, and Boston in recent weeks. Earlier in the week, the Falcon 7X shuttled between Boston and Morristown, and over the prior weekend between Chicago and New Jersey—a rhythm typical of a company in constant motion. The pattern underscores the company’s active dealmaking and regulatory engagement, with the Manassas facility playing a key role in its supply chain strategy.
