Target Corporation's Gulfstream G280, tail N585PL, touched down at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport just after midnight on June 2, completing a 2-hour-28-minute flight from Newark Liberty International Airport. The aircraft had departed New Jersey at 9:34 p.m. local time the previous evening.

The same week, Target is preparing for its annual shareholder meeting scheduled for June 10 in Minneapolis, as announced in the company's proxy filing. Per a Reuters report on May 29, analysts expect CEO Brian Cornell to address persistent inflation, shifting consumer spending, and the impact of new tariffs on imported goods—issues that have weighed on the retailer's margins in recent quarters.

The Newark-to-Minneapolis leg follows a pattern of travel concentrated around Target's Twin Cities headquarters. In the five days prior, N585PL made multiple trips to and from Minneapolis, including a May 30 return from East Hampton, New York, and a May 28 departure from the same area. The aircraft's movements suggest a busy week of executive travel ahead of the shareholder meeting, with the New York area serving as a frequent staging point for corporate officers.
