Wheels Up celebrates perfect completion in 2026
A record zero cancellation days achievement highlights the progress of Wheels Up's ongoing transformation strategy and lays the foundation for continued efficiency and responsible, profitable growth.
This is an operator on the up.

Wheels Up Experience, a US provider of on-demand private aviation, has flown a record breaking 74 days to-date in 2026 without a single flight cancellation (100 per cent completion each day). This milestone exceeds 2025's annual count of zero cancellation days.

“2025 was a record performance year for Wheels Up and, not five months into 2026, we're already beating our previous annual benchmarks,” says George Mattson, chief executive officer of Wheels Up. “Since day one, our mission has been to build the best-run private aviation company, and this latest proof point further demonstrates the progress we have made towards that goal. Having recently completed our fleet transition, we look forward to delivering even higher operational reliability.”

“We have the best operations team in the business, and these continued achievements are a result of major improvements in the company's operational reliability, disciplined planning, proactive communication and real time decision-making by teams across flight operations, maintenance, scheduling and customer service,” states Mattson. “I want to personally thank every member of our operations team for their impassioned commitment to creating such seamless operations and continuing to raise the bar for our members and customers.”

This record zero cancellation days achievement highlights the progress of Wheels Up's ongoing transformation strategy and lays the foundation for continued efficiency and responsible, profitable growth, all centred on a customer-centric model with flexibility and accessibility.
