Target Gulfstream returns to Minneapolis the morning of Q1 earnings call

Target's Gulfstream G280, tail number N484EM, landed back at its Minneapolis home base around 12:33 a.m. Central time on May 20, completing a 2-hour 31-minute flight from Newark Liberty International Airport.

The same morning, Target is scheduled to host its first-quarter earnings conference call at 7 a.m. Central, per the company's press release on May 19 [corporate.target.com](https://corporate.target.com/press/release/2026/05/target-corporation-to-webcast-1st-quarter-earnings-conference-call-on-wednesday,-may-20,-2026). The call comes just over three months into new CEO Michael Fiddelke's tenure, as he works to reverse 12 consecutive quarters of weak or declining sales. The retailer also recently named former Walmart executive Jeff England as its supply chain chief, part of a broader management shakeup [cnbc.com](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/19/target-names-ex-walmart-executive-as-supply-chain-chief.html).

The flight from Newark suggests executives or board members were shuttled back to Minneapolis for the earnings event. The aircraft had been active over the previous week on a route connecting Target's Minneapolis hub with Dallas, the Washington D.C. area, and the Florida Panhandle — consistent with the kind of cross-country travel that precedes a major corporate financial disclosure.
