The company also became the exclusive sales agent for VistaJet’s US business jet fleet – managed by Jet Vitiation – and signed a partnership with JetSuite.

It also plans to expand into Europe.

Starting at $15,750 a year, Wheels Up members can enjoy exclusive events and a concierge service, courtesy of Wheels Down, which runs as an affiliated lifestyle brand.
