Eli Lilly lands in Morristown the week Foundayo hits pharmacies

Eli Lilly flew from Indianapolis to Morristown, New Jersey, on May 12, 2026, aboard its Gulfstream G500 (N308EL), touching down at KMMU after a 1-hour, 26-minute flight.

The same week, Eli Lilly is rolling out Foundayo (orforglipron), the first FDA-approved GLP-1 pill for obesity that can be taken without food or water restrictions, per a CNBC report on April 30. CEO Dave Ricks is likely meeting with commercial and regulatory teams in the New York metro area to accelerate the launch, which has already seen 20,000 patients start the drug in its first weeks. The company also announced a $4.5 billion investment to expand its Lebanon, Indiana, manufacturing sites for GLP-1 drugs and genetic medicines, as covered by Healthcare Digital on May 10.

This trip follows a pattern of frequent shuttles between Indianapolis and the New York region: Eli Lilly flew to Teterboro on May 10 and returned on May 11, suggesting sustained executive activity around the Foundayo rollout and ongoing investor discussions tied to the company's raised 2026 revenue guidance of $82 billion to $85 billion.
