Dominion Energy's Gulfstream makes a brief local hop from Charlottesville

Dominion Energy's Gulfstream G450 (N607D) was tracked departing and arriving at Charlottesville Albemarle Airport on June 24, 2026, in a brief local movement lasting just over ten minutes at low altitude. The aircraft never left the Charlottesville area, indicating a training flight, maintenance check, or a quick repositioning.

If Dominion Energy executives were aboard, the flight would come the same week that the company's proposed $67 billion acquisition by NextEra Energy faces heightened regulatory and public scrutiny. Virginia energy watchdogs have urged caution, per a WHRO report published June 9, warning that ratepayers could bear costs if the deal is not rigorously reviewed. The State Corporation Commission must approve the merger, and hearings are expected this summer.

This local flight follows a pattern of short hops between Dominion's home base at Richmond International (KRIC) and regional airports like KFMY, KCLT, and KCHO. Such movements are routine for utility executives meeting with state lawmakers and regulators across Virginia and the Carolinas, as the merger process intensifies.
