Dominion Energy's Gulfstream lands near Richmond amid $67B merger scrutiny

The Dominion Energy Gulfstream G450 (N607D) was tracked on June 24 making a short hop from Dileo Field in Florida to a point near Richmond, Virginia, arriving at 12:09 local time after a 46-minute flight. The aircraft's home base is Richmond International, but this particular leg originated from a small Florida airstrip, not its usual hub.

If Dominion Energy leadership was aboard, the timing coincides with heightened regulatory and legislative activity around the proposed $67 billion merger with NextEra Energy. Virginia lawmakers met this week to question Dominion President Ed Baine about the deal, per a report from VPM News, while the State Corporation Commission faces a 180-day clock once the formal application is filed — expected later this summer.

The flight follows a pattern of recent trips between Dominion's Richmond base and southeastern destinations, including stops in South Carolina and North Carolina. With the merger under scrutiny from state regulators in Virginia, the Carolinas, and federal agencies, the movement of the company's sole Gulfstream G450 suggests a busy period of face-to-face lobbying and regulatory preparation ahead of a formal filing that could come within weeks.
