Target flies back to Minneapolis after annual shareholder meeting

Target's Gulfstream G280, tail number N585PL, flew from William Leon Schawo Airport in Georgia to Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport on June 18, 2026, arriving after a 1-hour-31-minute flight. The jet climbed to 41,025 feet and reached a top ground speed of 534 knots.

The return to headquarters comes the same week Target disclosed the results of its June 10 annual shareholder meeting, per a June 12 press release from [corporate.target.com](https://corporate.target.com/press/release/2026/06/target-announces-voting-results-from-2026-annual-meeting-of-shareholders). Shareholders rejected a proposal to separate the roles of CEO and executive chair, keeping former CEO Brian Cornell in the executive chairman seat alongside new CEO Michael Fiddelke. According to [supermarketnews.com](https://www.supermarketnews.com/company-news/target-shareholders-objecting-to-leadership-is-growing), nearly 13% of shareholders voted against Cornell's re-election, a signal of growing dissatisfaction with the board's direction as the retailer tries to stage a turnaround.

The June 18 flight is one of several recent trips by the same owner, including routes from Atlanta, Denver, and Chicago back to Minneapolis in previous days — a pattern consistent with board meetings and executive travel tied to the annual meeting cycle. Target maintains a three-aircraft fleet of Gulfstream G280s for its executives, shuttling between headquarters and recurring destinations like Chicago, Houston, and Washington, D.C.
