Wheels Up Experience Inc. has entered into a sale-leaseback transaction for a portion of its Phenom and Challenger fleets, and that its first Phenom aircraft equipped with best-in-class Gogo Galileo HDX satellite Wi-Fi has been placed into service. These two milestones further advance the company’s fleet modernization strategy, enabling recent and planned future growth in 2026, and continued enhancement of the customer experience.
The company continues to advance its previously announced fleet modernization strategy focused on scaling its fleet of Bombardier Challenger 300 series and Embraer Phenom 300 series aircraft. With strong underlying demand for its new fleet offerings that support the Company’s recently launched Signature membership, in the fourth quarter the company has acquired or has entered into definitive agreements to acquire 10 additional Challenger and Phenom aircraft, with plans to continue to significantly expand those fleets in 2026.
