IBM flew from Westchester County Airport to Addison Airport on May 27, a 3-hour 15-minute trip aboard its leased Gulfstream G650ER, tail N780RW. The aircraft, one of two in the company's fleet, touched down in Dallas that afternoon.

The same week, IBM holds its 2026 annual shareholder meeting in Dallas. Per the company's proxy filing, the meeting is scheduled for May 29 at the Hilton Anatole. The trip brings CEO Arvind Krishna and likely other senior executives to the event, where investors will vote on board nominees, executive compensation, and shareholder proposals. IBM's security policy requires all air travel by the CEO, including personal trips, to be on company aircraft, making the flight a routine but necessary part of the schedule.

The Addison arrival follows a series of shorter hops in the preceding days, including trips between Westchester and upstate New York, and a Miami detour. The pattern suggests the jet was repositioned from Florida to New York before heading to Texas, likely to collect Krishna or executives from the Armonk headquarters.
