MGM Resorts flies from Tokyo to Anchorage the week of Q1 2026 earnings season

MGM Resorts flew one of its Embraer Legacy 500s, tail N783MM, from Tokyo’s Narita International Airport to Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport on May 20, a routine refueling stop on a longer journey. The roughly six-and-a-half-hour flight is a typical mid-Pacific stepping stone for the company’s executive fleet, which includes four Legacy 500s and two ERJ-190s used to ferry management and high-value guests between Las Vegas and major hubs.

The same week this flight touched down in Alaska, MGM Resorts International was in the spotlight for its record first-quarter 2026 consolidated net revenues, as reported in an April 29 earnings release [prnewswire.com](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/mgm-resorts-international-reports-first-quarter-2026-financial-and-operating-results-302756621.html). The Las Vegas Strip Resorts posted their first year-over-year quarterly revenue gain since the third quarter of 2024, while the company closed the $546 million sale of MGM Northfield Park operations in April, per the same filing [sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/789570/000078957026000034/mgmex991q12026earningrelea.htm). CEO Bill Hornbuckle, whose new employment agreement extends through 2028, highlighted strong convention bookings and a refreshed MGM Grand as drivers of the recovery.

The Anchorage stop follows a pattern of Pacific-rim travel for MGM Resorts — recent flights show the same aircraft moving between Alaska, Seattle, and Tokyo, consistent with executive visits to MGM China operations in Macau and potential site inspections for the company’s integrated resort project in Osaka, Japan. Whether the destination is an investor meeting or a property review, the route itself tells a story of global portfolio management.”
