More momentum. More growth. More ahead for Wheels Up. With support from our investor group led by Delta Air Lines and new mezzanine financing from AIP Capital, we've secured $165 million in incremental liquidity to fuel additional fleet investment and multi-year growth. We completed our fleet modernization 18 months ahead of schedule, grew our Phenom and Challenger fleet from 21 to 36 aircraft over the past year, and plan to double it again in 2026. "The corporate segment continues to be our strongest segment. We're seeing really strong acceleration with corporate growing at roughly 25 percent a year over the last couple of years," shared George Mattson, CEO, Wheels Up, with Business Travel News. As we continue investing in the fleet and the member experience, we're focused on shaping the future of private aviation. Thank you Donna M. Airoldi and Business Travel News.

Big congratulations to Fernando Mendoza on going first in the Draft! At Wheels Up, we’re proud to have Fernando as an ambassador, representing the kind of discipline, focus, and drive that defines greatness both on and off the field. I recently had the pleasure of meeting Fernando with my son, and it was a moment that stuck with me. Watching him take the time to connect, share his journey, and inspire the next generation was a powerful reminder that he is about impact, not just achievement. As both a marketer and a mom, moments like that take on a different meaning. You see the hard work, the character, and the people behind the headlines. Fernando, we’re all cheering you on. The future is yours.

There is a significant, largely untapped opportunity in private aviation: the affluent traveler who has the means to fly private but has never considered it within reach. That is exactly what Jennifer Williams captures in today’s The Wall Street Journal, and it mirrors what we are seeing every day at Wheels Up. “To fly private is a premium, so it’s not for everyone. But it’s more about, for those that are able, letting them know that it’s not so far out of reach as maybe it seems on the surface.” — John Verkamp Meeting these customers where they are, through a modernized premium fleet, a concierge-led service model, and our first-of-its-kind partnership with Delta Air Lines, is the foundation of everything we are building. Thank you to the entire Wheels Up team. Read the full piece: https://bit.ly/4tWTlYP
