Stryker's Bombardier Global 5000 returns to Kalamazoo after East Coast trip

Stryker's Bombardier Global 5000 (N625SC) was tracked flying from Northeast Philadelphia Airport (KPNE) to Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International (KAZO) on June 25–26, a 1-hour 28-minute hop that touched down just after midnight. The aircraft had spent the previous day near Princeton, New Jersey, and earlier in the week made a series of international hops including a Toronto visit on June 21 [celebplanes.com](https://www.celebplanes.com/articles/stryker-flight-9222).

If aboard, the return to headquarters would place Stryker—whether CEO Kevin Lobo or other executives—back in Kalamazoo the same week the company is still absorbing the operational and financial effects of a March 11 cybersecurity incident that disrupted its Microsoft environment. First-quarter net sales rose 2.6% to $6.0 billion, but the attack obscured revenue recognition timing for orthopedics, per Orthopedics This Week [orthotw.com](https://orthotw.com/2026/06/stryker-posts-6-0-billion-for-q1-up-2-6). CEO Lobo told ORTHOWORLD he expects the impact to normalize over the year [orthoworld.com](https://www.orthoworld.com/stryker-expects-hack-impact-to-normalize-over-course-of-year/).

The flight extends a recent pattern of East Coast and international movements by Stryker's three-aircraft fleet. The same Global 5000 earlier visited Toronto and the New York area, while another aircraft shuttled to Nashville and back in mid-June. For a company still navigating the aftereffects of a hack—and reaffirming 8–9.5% organic growth guidance for the full year [biggo.com](https://finance.biggo.com/news/US_SYK_2026-04-30)—the trip home could be simply another turn in a busy travel cadence.
