Occidental Petroleum flew from Houston Bush Intercontinental to Westchester County Airport on May 26, a 2-hour 48-minute trip aboard its Gulfstream G280, tail N280XY.

The flight arrives the same week outgoing CEO Vicki Hollub is preparing to retire, effective June 1. As announced in a May 1 press release [barchart.com](https://www.barchart.com/story/news/1645790/occidental-announces-ceo-succession), the board named Richard Jackson as her successor. Hollub will remain on the board. Westchester County is a common arrival point for executives traveling to meetings in the New York metropolitan area, where Occidental engages with investors and board members.

The trip is a departure from Occidental’s recent pattern of flights to the Permian Basin and to Glasgow, Scotland earlier on May 26. The G280’s movement suggests a focused business meeting tied to the leadership transition, not a routine shuttle run.
