Corning flies to Morristown the week of its landmark AI partnership

Corning's Falcon 900, tail N38CG, flew from Elmira-Corning Regional Airport to Morristown Municipal Airport on May 12, a 45-minute hop that landed at 4:33 p.m. local time. The flight arrives the same week Corning announced a multiyear partnership with NVIDIA to expand U.S. manufacturing of optical connectivity for AI infrastructure, per a May 6 news release from Corning.

The same day the partnership was announced, Corning held an investor event at the New York Stock Exchange, upgrading its Springboard plan and projecting a $30 billion annualized sales run rate by 2028. Morristown, a common gateway for executives heading into Manhattan, puts Wendell Weeks within reach of that event and the follow-on meetings it generates.

The flight continues a busy week for Corning's flight department. Earlier on May 12, the same aircraft shuttled between Charlotte and Elmira, and over the prior days it worked a circuit through North Carolina and South Carolina — likely visits to the new manufacturing sites Corning plans to build there as part of the NVIDIA deal.
