Target Corporation's Gulfstream G280, tail number N484EM, was tracked making a brief 18-minute hop from Denton Enterprise Airport to Mid-Way Regional Airport on June 24, 2026 — a flight so short the aircraft barely climbed above 3,800 feet before descending into the Dallas-area suburb.

If Target representatives were on board, they would have arrived the same day the retailer unveiled its back-to-school and back-to-college campaign, featuring exclusive partnerships like LoveShackFancy and a renewed push on value, per a June 24 press release [stocktitan.net](https://www.stocktitan.net/news/TGT/target-kicks-off-back-to-school-and-back-to-college-with-style-at-j2102tpew432.html). The Target Circle Deal Days promotion, offering up to 45% off essentials, runs through June 26, making the timing ripe for last-minute planning.

The flight follows a pattern of recent Texas visits: the jet had arrived from Minneapolis late June 23, and this short repositioning to Midlothian — home to a Target distribution center — suggests preparations for the critical back-to-school sales season are in full swing.
