FMC Corp flies to Trenton flight lands the week of BMO conference and India divestiture

FMC Corp flew from Philadelphia International Airport to Trenton Mercer Airport on May 14, arriving in 17 minutes aboard its Challenger 605 (tail N1088). The brief hop — barely a climb to 3,175 feet — suggests a connection to a scheduled event rather than a relocation.

The same week, Pierre Brondeau, FMC Corp's chairman, chief executive officer and president, is scheduled to speak at the BMO Global Farm to Market Chemicals Conference on May 14, 2026, at 1:15 p.m. Eastern Time, per a company announcement on [finance.yahoo.com](https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/energy/articles/fmc-corporation-ceo-pierre-brondeau-113000926.html). The trip also follows FMC Corp's May 7 announcement that it had signed a definitive agreement to sell its India commercial business to Crystal Crop Protection Limited for $252 million, as reported by [prnewswire.com](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/fmc-corporation-announces-agreement-to-divest-india-commercial-business-to-india-commercial-business-to-crystal-crop-protection-limited-302765506.html). Brondeau has been shoring the company through a patent cliff on its key insecticide and a junk-rated debt load, as detailed in a March profile by [inquirer.com](https://www.inquirer.com/business/fmc-pesticide-philadelphia-pierre-brondeau-20260302.html).

Recent flights show FMC Corp's aircraft spent time near Battle Creek, Michigan earlier in the week, likely visiting the company's manufacturing or R&D operations there. The Trenton arrival places Brondeau within driving distance of the conference venue in New York or New Jersey, a pattern consistent with the company's stated focus on investor relations during a turnaround year.
