Costco Wholesale flew from Westchester County Airport to Manchester, New Hampshire on May 27, 2026, a 39-minute hop in its Gulfstream G280 (tail N84CW). The short flight, landing at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, brought the company's leadership to a key Northeast distribution hub.

The same week, CEO Ron Vachris is conducting a series of warehouse and supply chain visits across the country, per Costco's latest quarterly filing. The Manchester stop aligns with the company's ongoing review of regional logistics and its flat management culture, where executives regularly tour stores and distribution centers rather than convene solely at Issaquah headquarters.

The trip follows a pattern of cross-country movement: earlier this week, Costco Wholesale's aircraft flew from Washington D.C. to Westchester, and from Seattle to Idaho, reflecting the CEO's hands-on approach to overseeing the retailer's 890-plus locations worldwide.
