Warner Bros Discovery's Falcon 900EX lands in Charlotte as UK intervenes in $110 billion merger

Warner Bros Discovery's Dassault Falcon 900EX, tail number N304K, was tracked flying from Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport to Charlotte Douglas International Airport on June 30, 2026 — a brief 24-minute hop that touched down just after 2:05 p.m. local time.

If Warner Bros Discovery executives were aboard, they would have arrived the same day the British government formally signaled its intent to intervene in Paramount Skydance's proposed $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said she was “minded to intervene” on public interest grounds, citing news media plurality concerns, per a Reuters report. The UK's Competition and Markets Authority has until August 7 to decide on a phase-two review.

The flight continues a busy week for the aircraft, which earlier departed California on June 28 and shuttled between Greenville and Charlotte repeatedly. A recent SEC filing noted that Warner Bros Discovery added a third corporate jet in December — a Gulfstream G650 — and signed an updated time-sharing agreement with CEO David Zaslav, as footnoted reported. Whether the short Charlotte leg is part of broader merger maneuvering or a routine repositioning remains speculative, but the timing is notable.
