Stryker flies to Fort Wayne the week of its cyberattack recovery update

Stryker flew from Everitt Airport in Colorado to Smith Field in Fort Wayne, Indiana on June 5, 2026, a short 11-minute hop in its Bombardier Global 5000 (tail number N625SC) that reached 43,175 feet. The flight arrived just after 7:09 p.m. local time.

The same week, Stryker continues to manage the fallout from a March 11 cybersecurity attack that disrupted its global Microsoft environment, per a company update on its website. The incident, which Stryker says was contained to its internal systems, has caused delays in order processing and shipping, though CEO Kevin Lobo told ORTHOWORLD the company expects the impact to normalize over the course of the year. Stryker's first-quarter orthopedic sales of $3.1 billion were up just 0.6%, partly due to the hack's effect on revenue recognition.

The Fort Wayne area is home to several Stryker manufacturing and distribution facilities, and the company's fleet—which includes two Falcon 2000EXs and this Global 5000—frequently shuttles executives between Kalamazoo headquarters and key operational sites. This trip follows a pattern of short-haul hops to company hubs, likely for on-site meetings tied to the restoration effort.
