Walmart flies to Connecticut the week of its annual shareholders' meeting

Walmart flew from Rogers Municipal Airport-Carter Field to Bradley International Airport on June 21, a 2-hour-26-minute trip in its Embraer Praetor 500 (N383PA). The aircraft departed Northwest Arkansas at 12:15 PM UTC and arrived in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, at 2:42 PM UTC.

The same week, Walmart held its annual Associates Week and shareholders' meeting in Bentonville, Arkansas, drawing thousands of employees from 19 countries and featuring performances by Benson Boone, Shaboozey, and Pink, per coverage from Talk Business & Politics and Modern Retail. CEO John Furner addressed the gathering, discussing AI adoption and the company's "Code Puppy" coding assistant, while former CEO Doug McMillon received a standing ovation on his retirement from the board.

The flight to Connecticut follows a pattern of Walmart's aircraft moving between its home base at Northwest Arkansas Regional and destinations including Dallas, Houston, and Los Angeles over the past two weeks, as tracked by Celebplanes. The company's corporate aircraft policy requires executives to use company planes for all business and personal travel, per its proxy disclosures.
