Boston Scientific lands at Teterboro amid pacemaker recall and Watchman concerns

Boston Scientific flew from Yankee Airstrip in Connecticut to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on June 22, a 56-minute hop in its Bombardier Challenger 650 (N650BS). The brief leg, originating from a small private strip near the Massachusetts border, suggests a convenience stop rather than a long-haul repositioning — the aircraft’s home base is Hanscom Field outside Boston.

The same week, Boston Scientific is navigating fallout from a Class I recall of its VALITUDE and VISIONIST CRT-P pacemakers, an issue the FDA flagged in April and that affected thousands of devices, per [massdevice.com](https://www.massdevice.com/boston-scientific-has-reportedly-had-pacemaker-battery-problems-for-years/). The company also faces investor unease after CEO Mike Mahoney acknowledged declining usage of its Watchman heart device at a Bernstein conference in late May, causing shares to slide 12% in a single day, as covered by [reuters.com](https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/boston-scientific-slides-after-flagging-slowdown-watchmen-heart-device-usage-2026-05-27/). Teterboro offers quick access to Manhattan, where Boston Scientific maintains a presence for investor meetings and regulatory counsel.

The trip follows a busy week for the Challenger: it had visited Cincinnati, Lake Tahoe, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis in the preceding days, per flight tracking data on [celebplanes.com](https://www.celebplanes.com/celebrity/boston-scientific). The New Jersey arrival may signal a return to the Northeast corridor after a cross-country tour of company facilities and clinical sites.
