Discount Tire's Bombardier Challenger 300, tail N800BD, was tracked departing Reese Airpark in Lubbock and arriving at El Paso International Airport on July 1, a 48-minute flight at 34,075 feet.

If aboard, Discount Tire would land in El Paso the same week National Tire Safety Week wraps up on July 4, per a PRNewswire release, with the chain offering free tire checks at over 1,275 locations. The company also recently announced a new Fort Worth store near Texas Motor Speedway, set to break ground in September, as reported by the Cross Timbers Gazette, and is facing an ERISA class-action lawsuit over retirement plan investments, per PLANSPONSOR.

The flight comes after a series of recent Discount Tire flights across Texas and the Southwest, including hops to Midland and Las Cruces, suggesting a regional operations review or executive presence ahead of the holiday travel surge and construction timeline.
