Starbucks lifts cap on CEO's private-jet use amid security review

Starbucks has scrapped the $250,000 annual cap on CEO Brian Niccol's personal use of the company's private jet after a security review found increased risk and media attention, with all air travel now recommended for safety and the arrangement to be reviewed quarterly. An independent study recommended enhanced security measures, and Niccol's 2025 compensation was about $31 million, with roughly $1.1 million in security costs and about $997,000 tied to jet use for commuting and personal travel. The move comes as Starbucks reported US sales growth but weaker pre-tax profit due to labor investments and inflation pressures.
