Corning flew from an airfield near Raleigh, North Carolina, to Morristown Municipal Airport on Thursday evening, a 47-minute hop in one of its Dassault Falcon 900s. The shuttle, one of roughly a dozen such flights Corning operates each day, touched down at 4:39 p.m. local time.
The trip is standard routing for the materials-science company: the NBAA reports that Corning's shuttle network runs twice-daily service to Morristown from five destinations, including Raleigh. Passengers then take free ground transport to Manhattan's 59th Street. The program, open to any employee, carried more than 22,000 people last year, per NBAA, and also offers seats to cancer patients via the Corporate Angel Network.
Corning, which operates three Falcon 900EXs and three Challenger 850s from its Elmira base, calls it a “self-dispatch operation” — pilots plan and crew every flight. Thursday's inbound leg from North Carolina mirrors the pattern of multiple arrivals and departures the fleet logged that day, connecting plants in Christiansburg, Virginia, and Harrodsburg, Kentucky, to headquarters and the New York office.
