NextEra Energy flew from Linden Airport in New Jersey to Palm Beach International Airport on June 4, 2026, a 2-hour 14-minute hop aboard its Embraer Praetor 600, tail N47MW. The flight arrived just after 3:30 a.m., returning the company's executives to their Juno Beach headquarters.

The trip comes the same week that NextEra Energy CEO John Ketchum participated in the 2026 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, per a company press release and local Omaha World-Herald coverage. The meeting, held May 30 through June 1, drew thousands of investors and featured Ketchum on a panel discussing the future of renewable energy and utility-scale battery storage—a core focus for NextEra Energy's Florida Power & Light subsidiary.

The aircraft's recent flight history shows multiple positionings over central Nebraska on June 3, consistent with a staging pattern around Omaha's Eppley Airfield during the event. NextEra Energy's three Praetor 600s are frequently used for executive travel between its Florida base and regulatory or investor meetings in Washington, Chicago, and Houston; this week's Nebraska detour was a rare mid-continent stop before the red-eye back to Palm Beach.
