Wheels Up is a leading provider of on-demand private aviation services, aiming to democratize private flying by making it more accessible, convenient, and cost-efficient. Founded in 2013, the company's mission revolves around connecting individuals and businesses to private aircraft through a membership-based model. Its headquarters are located in Atlanta, Georgia, having relocated from New York in 2024.

Wheels Up offers a comprehensive suite of private aviation solutions, including various membership programs and on-demand charter services. The company provides access to a diverse fleet of owned, managed, and third-party aircraft, featuring models such as Beechcraft King Air 350i, Cessna Citation jets, Embraer Phenom 300/300E, and Bombardier Challenger 300/350. Through a strategic partnership with Delta Air Lines, Wheels Up also integrates commercial travel benefits, offering a seamless connection between private and premium commercial flights. Additionally, the company provides cargo services to various clients.

In August 2023, Delta Air Lines, alongside Certares Management LLC and Knighthead Capital Management LLC, acquired a 95% stake in Wheels Up through a $500 million investment, aimed at stabilizing the company's financial position. George N. Mattson was appointed CEO in September 2023, leading the company through its turnaround efforts. Wheels Up has recently focused on operational improvements, completing a major fleet modernization by April 2026, retiring legacy jets for newer, premium models, and achieving a record of 14 consecutive days with zero flight cancellations in early 2026. The company also underwent a 1-for-20 reverse stock split effective April 24, 2026, and consolidated its service offerings under a single brand to enhance customer experience.
