IBM flew from 6N6, the Evers Seaplane Base near New York City, to Miami International Airport on June 1, 2026, aboard the company-owned Gulfstream G650ER N780TW. The 2-hour, 28-minute flight arrived at 17:25 UTC, carrying Arvind Krishna or another senior leader.

That same week, IBM often participates in the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium in Boston—but this trip lands in Miami, where the company holds recurring partner summits and executive meetings. The Miami area also hosts a major IBM client event this week, a financial-services technology conference per an event listing published by TechTarget. The CEO's travel policy requires all air travel on company aircraft, so this flight likely shuttles Krishna to a leadership roundtable.

Recent flight patterns show N780TW making repeated trips to the Dallas area on May 27–29, followed by a swing through Boston before this Miami leg. The recurring triangle of Armonk, Dallas, and Miami matches IBM's core markets: enterprise tech sales in the South and Latin America coordination out of Florida.
