Wheels Up

Wheels Up Experience Inc. (NYSE: UP) is a leading on-demand private aviation provider in the U.S., offering charter and membership programs, commercial travel benefits through a strategic partnership with Delta Air Lines, and cargo services. Founded in 2013 by Kenny Dichter, Wheels Up was rescued from potential bankruptcy in September 2023 when a Delta Air Lines-led consortium (Delta, Certares, Knighthead, Cox) closed a $500M financing package and took a ~95% controlling equity stake. In November 2024 the company acquired the Embraer Phenom 300/300E fleet of GrandView Aviation ($105M) and secured $332M in equipment financing from Bank of America as part of a multi-year fleet modernization toward two core aircraft types (Phenom 300 series and Challenger 300/350). In 2025 it launched a new Signature membership portfolio and an industry-first integrated self-booking of Delta commercial flights inside the Wheels Up members app. Wheels Up does not publish a public developer API — its booking surface is a members-only mobile app and members.wheelsup.com web portal, with B2B operator connectivity historically routed through its acquired Avianis platform (2019).

Wheels Up is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Aviation, Private Aviation, Charter, Membership, and Travel.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/wheels-up: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

x-no-public-api: Wheels Up does not operate a public developer portal. Booking, flight management, and member services are
  exposed exclusively through the members-only mobile app and members.wheelsup.com. B2B operator connectivity was historically
  routed through the Avianis platform (acquired September 2019). Charter brokers may interact via Avinode-style marketplaces
  but no Wheels Up-branded OpenAPI, SDK, or rate-card API is published.
