Hess flew from Francis S. Gabreski Airport in Westhampton Beach, New York, to Trenton Mercer Airport on May 24, 2026, a 40-minute hop aboard the Gulfstream G650ER (N1454H). The flight arrived just after 1:25 p.m. local time.

The trip lands in central New Jersey the same week that Chevron continues integrating the former Hess Corporation, whose $53 billion acquisition closed in July 2025, per a Nasdaq announcement. John Hess, the former CEO, joined Chevron's board after the FTC cleared the move. The company's Guyana Stabroek block — where Hess held a 30% stake — continues generating substantial earnings, with Hess Guyana's accumulated surplus reaching GY$1.741 trillion by the end of 2025, according to audited financials cited by ChrisRam.net.

This flight fits a pattern: Hess's Gulfstream has shuttled between Teterboro, Trenton, and Essex County airports regularly over the past two weeks, with trips to Henderson, Nevada, and Washington, D.C., suggesting business meetings tied to the post-merger portfolio. The Westhampton Beach departure may indicate a weekend retreat before returning to the New York-area corporate circuit.
