Also, risk management might encourage them to split two senior executives up so that there would be less risk of losing two senior executives in one disaster. Would they fly two private planes or ask one executive to fly commercial?
I dont think they would put 2 execs on teh same plane(regardless to commercial/private) but details for private jets:
Gulfstream G550 range 6750nm. well within the limits (Great circle mapper: 4946nm, G550 had flown from Seoul to Orlando)
