MGM Resorts flies to Ontario the week of emergency Embraer airworthiness directives

MGM Resorts flew from Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport to Ontario International Airport on the evening of May 22, 2026, a 35-minute hop aboard its Embraer Legacy 500, tail N783MM. The flight arrived just before 11 p.m., adding another leg to a day that already saw the same jet shuttle between the Strip and Los Angeles area airports.

The trip lands the same week that Brazilian and U.S. aviation authorities issued emergency airworthiness directives for the Legacy 500 and related models over a pitch trim actuator failure that could—under certain maintenance scenarios—lead to loss of control, per [ch-aviation.com](https://www.ch-aviation.com/news/166295-regulators-issue-emergency-ads-for-legacy-450500-praetors). MGM Resorts operates four Legacy 500s in its corporate fleet, used to move executives and high-rolling guests between the company’s nine Las Vegas casino resorts and major U.S. metros, per the company's SEC filing [sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/789570/000078957026000035/R8.htm).

MGM Resorts’ morning inbound from Anchorage—linked to a Tokyo-anchorage-Las Vegas routing earlier in the week—suggests the flight was a simple repositioning or a routine executive run to Southern California. Ontario is a frequent alternate for Los Angeles traffic, and the aircraft has been spotted there multiple times since 2022 [spottinglog.com](https://www.spottinglog.com/aircraft/N781MM). No newsworthy event in Ontario itself appears to explain the visit; the flight is most likely a standard corporate shuttle.
