FedEx's aircraft lands in New Jersey the week of tariff refund rollout

FedEx's aircraft was tracked flying from Memphis International Airport to Morristown Municipal Airport on June 25, 2026, a two-hour, thirteen-minute jaunt in the company's Bombardier Challenger 300, tail number N43FE. The plane reached 41,000 feet and 535 knots before descending into the New Jersey suburbs.

If aboard, FedEx would arrive the same week the company is finalizing plans to begin passing $800 million in IEEPA tariff refunds back to customers starting in August, per a Supply Chain Dive report on June 23. The company is building a customer portal due by July 10 and prioritizing shippers who share data for refund disbursement — a logistical push that may warrant face time with executives based in the New York metro area.

The flight follows a pattern: the aircraft has visited the Northeast corridor multiple times in recent weeks, including runs to Washington Dulles and Pittsburgh, consistent with FedEx's headquarters remaining in Memphis but executive meetings often convening near the financial capital.
