DuPont flies to Paris the week of VivaTech and European board meetings

DuPont flew from Wilmington, Delaware, to Paris–Le Bourget on Sunday, June 7, in its Gulfstream G550 (N581D), a 5-hour-51-minute transatlantic crossing that arrived at the business-aviation hub just before 8 p.m. local time.

The same week, the company is participating in VivaTech 2026, Europe's flagship technology and innovation conference, where DuPont is expected to showcase its latest advances in specialty materials and sustainable chemistry, per the VivaTech exhibitor schedule published in May. The trip also gives CEO Lori Koch an opportunity for face-to-face meetings with European regulators and major industrial customers ahead of next quarter's earnings cycle.

The flight continues a pattern of regular transatlantic travel from DuPont's Wilmington base: the company's Gulfstream G550 has made multiple runs to European destinations this year, including a May 29 departure from St. Maarten that routed back to Delaware, suggesting a previous European swing that extended into the Caribbean.
