Ron DeSantis returns to Tallahassee after property tax special session push

Ron DeSantis flew from Brooksville–Tampa Bay Regional Airport to Tallahassee International Airport on June 10, a 33-minute hop aboard the state-owned Cessna Citation Latitude N943FL. The flight lands the same week the Florida Legislature approved a constitutional amendment to sharply curtail property taxes, a proposal championed by the governor during a special session that concluded on June 2, per [floridaphoenix.com](https://floridaphoenix.com/2026/06/02/its-up-to-the-voters-now-legislature-oks-desantis-property-tax-proposal/).

The plane, operated by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, is used exclusively for executive-protection transport. DeSantis’s official schedule often shuttles between Tallahassee and the Tampa region, where he held a press conference in Land O’ Lakes on June 4 defending the plan against legislative changes that exempted school funding, as reported by [floridatrend.com](https://www.floridatrend.com/articles/2026/06/04/legislature-changes-math-property-tax-plan-protect-schools-desantis-proposal/).

This flight continues a pattern of state-business travel: DeSantis’s Citation Latitude logged multiple trips between Tallahassee and Miami, Orlando, and the Space Coast in recent weeks. As the 2026 election cycle heats up, the governor remains a fixture in state capital operations, with the property tax ballot measure—requiring 60% voter approval in November—now his marquee legislative achievement.
