Wheels Up retired legacy jets 18 months ahead of schedule. The on-demand charter provider now operates only Phenom 300 and Challenger 300 aircraft.

Wheels Up has transitioned its legacy jet fleets out of revenue service approximately 18 months ahead of schedule, completing a fleet modernization strategy announced in October 2023. Now, the on-demand private aviation provider exclusively operates Embraer Phenom 300s and Bombardier Challenger 300s in support of its programmatic membership offerings. The company sold off its Citation Xs and Hawker 400XPs.

The fleet modernization is part of an ongoing transformation designed to improve customer experience and simplify the company’s product and fleet architecture. Wheels Up reported higher customer satisfaction ratings on its Phenom and Challenger operations.
