PNC Financial flew from Cheat River Island Airport in West Virginia to Allegheny County Airport in Pittsburgh on June 3, 2026. The Bombardier Challenger 300, tail number N852DL, made the short hop after earlier flights that same day shuttled between the Washington, D.C. area and Morgantown, West Virginia.

The return to Pittsburgh comes the same week the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond's annual banking conference is scheduled to begin in nearby Washington, D.C., per the Fed's public calendar. As a top-10 U.S. bank with $560 billion in assets, PNC Financial's leadership often attends regulatory and industry events in the capital region. CEO Bill Demchak has been a participant in past Fed symposiums focused on banking stability and technology.

PNC Financial's fleet of four aircraft, including two Challenger 300s, frequently works the corridor between Pittsburgh and the D.C. area. The brief West Virginia leg on June 3 suggests a resupply or crew rotation stop followed by a return to the bank's home field at Allegheny County Airport.
