PNC Financial flies back to Pittsburgh after CEO’s Morgan Stanley conference appearance

PNC Financial flew from Baublitz Commercial Airport in Pennsylvania to Allegheny County Airport on June 9, a 39-minute hop in its Bombardier Global 5000 (N513DL). The aircraft reached 21,625 feet and a top speed of 401 knots, a routine repositioning after a busy morning.

The same day, PNC Financial Chairman and CEO William Demchak was scheduled to speak at the Morgan Stanley U.S. Financials Conference in New York City, per a May 26 press release on the company’s investor site. The conference appearance, set for 1:00 p.m. Eastern, explains the aircraft’s earlier leg from Allegheny County to the New York area — a quick turn to get Demchak to the podium and back.

The return flight caps a week of active flying for PNC Financial’s fleet, which had shuttled between Pittsburgh, Chicago, and the Northeast in recent days. The brief hop home suggests the executive’s New York business is done, and the Global 5000 is back at its Allegheny County base, ready for the next trip.
