Dominion Energy's aircraft lands in Charlottesville the week of merger scrutiny hearings

Dominion Energy's Gulfstream G450 (N607D) was tracked flying from Columbia Metropolitan Airport to Charlottesville Albemarle Airport on June 26, 2026, a 1-hour-4-minute hop that arrived just before 1 p.m. local time. The aircraft had been in the Columbia area earlier in the week, per flight history.

If Dominion Energy was aboard, the arrival would come the same week Virginia lawmakers and regulators are pressing for details on the proposed $67 billion merger with NextEra Energy, as covered by VPM and WTKR this month. The Virginia State Corporation Commission faces a 180-day review clock once the formal application is filed, expected soon, per a June 12 VPM report. Dominion President Ed Baine has testified before the Commission on Electric Utility Regulation, promising $1.8 billion in bill credits for Virginia customers.

Charlottesville is not a typical recurring destination for Dominion Energy's aircraft, which more often shuttles between Richmond headquarters and hubs like Washington Dulles or Charlotte. A stop at KCHO — home to the University of Virginia and a short drive from the state capitol — suggests a meeting tied to the merger's regulatory path, though Celebplanes tracks the plane, not the person.
