DuPont’s Gulfstream G550 lands in Trenton the week of a reverse stock split

DuPont flew from Wilmington Airport to Trenton Mercer Airport on June 16, a 27-minute hop in its Gulfstream G550 (N581D) that reached just 4,975 feet. The short trip, covering roughly 40 nautical miles, landed at 12:37 UTC.

The same week, DuPont is preparing to execute a 1-for-3 reverse stock split, set to take effect at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on June 24, per a company press release on May 26. The move, approved by stockholders at the annual meeting on May 21, will triple the share price from around $48 to about $145 and reduce outstanding shares from roughly 405 million to 135 million. As The Motley Fool noted on June 2, DuPont is not struggling operationally—first-quarter results showed 2% organic sales growth and a $275 million share repurchase program—but the reverse split aligns its share price with peers like Air Products and Chemicals and makes per-share profit figures look nominally larger.

DuPont’s home base is Wilmington, and Trenton is a recurring destination in its flight history, often used for corporate meetings or events in the New Jersey corridor. The timing of this trip, days after the stock-split announcement and ahead of its effective date, suggests internal coordination around the capital-markets move.
