Wheels Up Experience Inc. UP
Wheels Up is a leading global provider of on-demand private aviation with a large, diverse aircraft fleet and a network of safety-vetted charter operators, all committed to safety and service. Our offering is delivered through a mix of our membership program and charter solutions that strategically utilize our controlled aircraft fleet and charter operators to deliver a greater range of travel alternatives. In addition, our first-of-its-kind partnership with Delta Air Lines, Inc. ("Delta") provides our members and customers with a seamless offering across both private and premium commercial travel.
As part of the multi-year business transformation that we are continuing to execute, our membership program and global charter offerings have evolved to meet the varying needs of private flyers across the markets we serve. We offer numerous services to our members, customers and industry partners, and generate the majority of our revenue from member and customer flights, whether as part of Wheels Up's membership program or charter solutions. Flight revenue includes revenue earned from a member's use of funds advanced to us for the cost of future flight services and other incidental costs, such as catering and ground transportation (a "Membership Fund," formerly referred to as a "Prepaid Block"), and from on-demand and wholesale charter flights. We generate Membership revenue from fees paid for Wheels Up's membership program, which provides members with access to our large, diverse controlled aircraft fleet. We also generate Other revenue from activities and services that complement our core private aviation business, such as cargo flights, and government and defense solutions. We expect our service offerings will continue to evolve as we advance our fleet modernization strategy and continue to tailor to the needs of our members and customers.
