NextEra Energy flew from John Wayne Airport in Orange County to San Francisco International on May 28, 2026, a 70-minute hop aboard its Embraer Praetor 600, tail N31MW. The flight touched down just before 4 a.m. local time, a late-night repositioning from Southern California.

The same week, San Francisco is hosting the BloombergNEF Summit, a major gathering of energy executives, investors, and policymakers focused on the clean energy transition, per the event's official schedule. NextEra Energy, the largest U.S. electric utility holding company and parent of Florida Power & Light, is a frequent participant in such conferences, where its CEO John Ketchum often discusses renewable energy strategy and regulatory outlook.

The flight follows a busy week for the company's aircraft: N31MW spent the previous days shuttling between Florida, the Midwest, and the East Coast, including stops in Iowa and Virginia. The Orange County leg on May 26 likely involved a separate business meeting before the final hop north to San Francisco for the summit.
