Had the pleasure of joining Jeremy Kariuki on his podcast recently where we discussed this pivotal time in private aviation. A big thank you to him for the thoughtful conversation and for giving me the opportunity to share how Wheels Up is committed to meeting both current and future needs of travelers. It was also refreshing to touch on something close to my heart—what it means to be a woman in leadership within the aviation industry. Thanks again, Jeremy! ?? Can't wait for our next conversation.

Wheels Up reports strong finish to 2024 Wheels Up ended 2024 on a high note, with its fourth quarter financial results demonstrating significant progress in the company’s turnaround efforts. The private aviation company reported substantial improvements in profitability metrics despite revenue contraction, indicating a continued effort towards strategic growth. According to the company's latest financial report, Wheels Up recorded $204.8m in revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2024, representing a 17% decrease compared to the $356.4m reported in the same period of 2023. Most notably, Wheels Up achieved a dramatic turnaround in its gross profit, posting $15.4m in Q4 2024 compared to a loss of $18m in Q4 2023 – a positive swing of over $33.5m. The company's adjusted contribution reached $39.6m, up from just $2.8m a year earlier, reflecting significant operational improvements. “After several quarters of consistent improvement, we ended 2024 in a much stronger financial position than we began. The fourth quarter was our lowest Adjusted EBITDA loss since going public, with the month of December achieving nearly breakeven performance. This was also our first quarter of sequential revenue growth in nearly two years, thanks in part to record margins and further enhancements to operational efficiency,” said Wheels Up chief executive officer George Mattson while speaking to Corporate Jet Investor.
