PNC Financial flew from Chicago O'Hare International Airport to Allegheny County Airport on May 21, 2026, a 1-hour 9-minute trip aboard a Bombardier Challenger 300, tail N852DL. The aircraft departed KORD at 19:52 UTC and touched down at KAGC at 21:02 UTC.

The same week, PNC Financial filed its quarterly report (10-Q) with the SEC on May 5, 2026, per [investor.pnc.com](https://investor.pnc.com/sec-filings/all-sec-filings/content/0000713676-26-000038/pnc-20260331.htm), and its annual report (10-K) on February 20, 2026, per [investor.pnc.com](https://investor.pnc.com/sec-filings/all-sec-filings/content/0000713676-26-000020/pnc-20251231.htm). No major public events or appearances were reported in the Chicago area for CEO Bill Demchak this week; the flight appears to be a routine return to Pittsburgh after a business trip. Recent flights show PNC Financial aircraft moving frequently among Pittsburgh, Chicago, and the East Coast.

The aircraft's permanent base is Allegheny County Airport, per a filings-amendment document from 2020 that listed the base as "24 Allegheny County Airport, West Mifflin, PA 15122" ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/713676/000071367621000025/pnc-12312020xex10312.htm)). This trip, then, is simply a flight home.
