IBM flies from Miami to Westchester the week of the annual shareholder meeting

IBM flew from Miami to Westchester County on the afternoon of June 4, landing at KHPN just before 2:20 PM Eastern. The Gulfstream G650ER, tail N780TW, covered the 2-hour-28-minute leg after a short stay in South Florida that included an inbound flight from Armonk on June 1.

The back-to-front timing points directly to IBM’s annual shareholder meeting, scheduled for June 5 at the company’s Armonk headquarters. Per IBM’s proxy filing with the SEC, the meeting covers ratification of executive compensation for CEO Arvind Krishna, advisory votes on pay for named executive officers, and shareholder proposals including a request for a report on climate lobbying. The Miami diversion likely reflects personal or business stops for Krishna, who is required under IBM’s security policy to use company aircraft for all travel, including personal trips.

The trip pattern confirms a late-May swing through Texas and Boston before this week’s return to home base. N780TW flew from Boston to Dallas on May 28, then Dallas to Westchester on May 29, before heading to Miami on June 1. The sequence suggests a series of site visits or meetings prior to the shareholder main event.
