Wheels Up Secures $332MM Revolving Facility from BofA, Acquires 17 Phenom 300 Series Aircraft



Wheels Up Experience closed its new $332 million revolving equipment notes facility with Bank of America, and completed the acquisition of GrandView Aviation’s fleet of 17 Embraer Phenom 300 and Phenom 300E aircraft, and related maintenance assets and customer programs.

“Our fleet transition starts today with the strategic acquisition of GrandView’s Phenom fleet and the immediate introduction of the Phenom fleet into our programmatic member as well as charter offerings as we head into the peak holiday travel season,” George Mattson, CEO of Wheels Up, said. “By expanding our fleet with newer, more capable aircraft, we are positioning Wheels Up to remain at the forefront of our industry, offering our customers private aviation solutions that deliver greater flexibility, enhanced comfort and the reliable access our customers expect.”

The company’s new $332 million revolving equipment notes facility, backed by credit support from Delta Air Lines, refinanced Wheels Up’s existing owned fleet, financed the purchase of GrandView’s fleet and will provide additional borrowing access to support the completion of Wheels Up’s fleet transition.
