Dominion Energy's aircraft circles Richmond as merger filing nears

Dominion Energy's Gulfstream G450 (N607D) was tracked on a brief flight departing and returning to Richmond International Airport on June 26, a maneuver that kept the aircraft close to the company's headquarters. The short hop follows a busy week of flights between Virginia, South Carolina, and other regional airports, per ADS-B data captured by Celebplanes.

If Dominion Energy executives were aboard, the timing would align with final preparations for the company's proposed $67 billion merger with NextEra Energy. Dominion expects to file its formal merger application with the Virginia State Corporation Commission this month or next, as reported by VPM.org. The application will trigger a 180-day review clock, with state lawmakers and watchdogs already raising questions about ratepayer impacts and job protections [vpm.org](https://www.vpm.org/news/2026-06-12/dominion-energy-nextera-merger-ceur-scc-hempling-baine-green).

The Richmond-based utility has kept N607D active in recent weeks, shuttling between KRIC, KCHO, KCAE, and other regional hubs. The pattern suggests ongoing discussions with stakeholders across Virginia and the Carolinas — the three states where regulators must approve the deal. If the merger proceeds, Dominion Energy's leadership may find their travel schedule only getting busier.
