Target jet returns to Minneapolis ahead of shareholders meeting and strategic push

Target Corporation flew from Torrance, California to Minneapolis–Saint Paul on June 22, 2026, a 2-hour-57-minute hop aboard its Gulfstream G280, tail number N686BE. The aircraft departed Zamperini Field at sunset and touched down at Wold–Chamberlain Field shortly before midnight, returning to the retailer’s home base after a swing through Southern California.

The same week, Target held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on June 10 in Minneapolis, where shareholders elected all 12 board nominees and approved the amended long-term incentive plan, per the company’s press release [corporate.target.com](https://corporate.target.com/press/release/2026/06/target-announces-voting-results-from-2026-annual-meeting-of-shareholders). The meeting capped a period of leadership transition after CEO Brian Cornell stepped down in February and successor Michael Fiddelke outlined a $5 billion capital investment plan in March, as reported by celebplanes in May [celebplanes.com](https://www.celebplanes.com/articles/target-flight-723). Executives have been shuttling between key markets like Dallas, Houston, and Los Angeles, with this latest leg echoing the rhythm of boardroom preparation ahead of quarterly reports and strategic resets.

This flight continues a pattern of Target’s three-plane fleet cycling through Dallas, Houston, and Chicago, linking field visits to headquarters. The return to Minneapolis suggests the focus is now on execution—fine-tuning the store refresh and supply chain investments Fiddelke stressed during the May earnings call, per supermarketnews.com [supermarketnews.com](https://www.supermarketnews.com/grocery-operations/target-is-not-getting-excited-over-q1-it-s-getting-to-work-especially-with-grocery). Home base, if only for a few days, where the next quarterly numbers are built.
