Caterpillar flies to Teterboro the week of its CEO's first quarterly results as chairman.

Caterpillar’s Bombardier Global 6000, N797CT, departed Kudlacek Field outside Peoria just after 7:22 p.m. Central Time on June 10, 2026, and landed at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey two hours and thirty-three minutes later. The aircraft arrived at the company’s regular New York-area business stop just before 11 p.m. Eastern.

The trip arrives the same week Caterpillar closed the books on its first quarter under new Chairman and CEO Joe Creed, who took the board’s top role from retiring executive D. James Umpleby III on April 1, per a January 6, 2026 company press release [caterpillar.com](https://www.caterpillar.com/en/news/corporate-press-releases/h/creed-elected-chairman.html). On April 30, the company reported first-quarter sales and revenues of $17.4 billion, a 22% year-over-year increase driven by rising dealer inventories and infrastructure demand across North America, according to the company’s SEC filing [sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/18230/000001823026000017/ex991toformcat1q2026earnin.htm). The New York-area stopover likely supports investor meetings or board briefings tied to the earnings release and the company’s raised capacity outlook for data-center power equipment.

The flight is one of several recent trips by Caterpillar’s fleet to and from the New York area. On June 9, the same aircraft flew from Teterboro to Dallas-Fort Worth and back the same day. In late May, N797CT flew from Texas to São Paulo and back, consistent with Caterpillar’s pattern of routing executives to key North American hubs and international mining regions.
