Wheels Up wants to take flying to a new level with a subscription service much like Netflix. This revolutionary membership-based private aviation company reduces the upfront cost to fly privately while providing flexibility, service, and safety.
Created and led by Kenny Dichter, the Founder of Marquis Jet and innovator of the 25-hour fractional jet card, Wheels Up offers guaranteed availability on its private fleet of new Beechcraft King Air 350i and Citation Excel/XLS aircrafts.
Operating with an 8760 culture (24 hours a day, 365 days of the year), the Company offers individual, family and corporate members exceptional world-class service with around the clock support. And for those in the Middle Tennessee area, you can select which airport to make your departure, whether you prefer BNA, John C. Tune or Smyrna Airport.
There’s even a mobile app which enables members to seamlessly book flights, manage their accounts and participate in ride-share opportunities. Wheels Up Members also have access to the Wheels Down program, featuring exclusive lifestyle events and experiences, unique partner benefits and a full-service luxury concierge, which is also integrated into the Wheels Up app.
Deron Brown, Executive Vice-President refers to Wheels Up as “Country Club Flying.”
Brown goes on to say, “instead of fairways, clubhouses, and staff, we have pilots and runways, you also don’t have a large capital investment of buying a private jet or a fraction of an airplane, our model is different because we offer memberships. ”
