Corning flies to Morristown the week of the optical fiber conference

Corning's Falcon 900, tail N38CG, departed Elmira-Corning Regional Airport at 11:09 UTC on June 4 and touched down at Morristown Municipal Airport 30 minutes later, at 11:40 UTC.

The same week, the Optical Fiber Communication Conference (OFC) is running at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center in Edison, just a short drive from Morristown. As covered by Lightwave Online, OFC 2026 draws thousands of attendees and exhibitors focused on the latest in fiber, photonics, and connectivity — all core businesses for Corning, which manufactures optical fiber and cable at its Wilmington, North Carolina, and Concord, North Carolina, facilities. CEO Wendell Weeks or senior leadership likely traveled to the show to meet with customers and partners.

The flight comes amid a busy week for the company's flight department: recent flights by the same Falcon 900 include multiple hops between KELM and KBOS (likely to Corning's R&D facility in Bedford, Massachusetts) and a stop at KCLT on June 3, near the company's fiber plants. Morristown offers convenient access to northern New Jersey's tech corridor without the congestion of Newark or Teterboro.
