Wheels Up celebrates Super Bowl LIV with massive tailgate party

The private jet membership provider hosted its seventh annual Super Saturday Tailgate attracting a slew of star athletes and celebrities

Wheels Up has always been about being more than just a private aviation solution, but a lifestyle. That approach was on display earlier this month during Super Bowl LIV. In Miami, it hosted its seventh annual Super Saturday Tailgate event.

We’re glad to have kicked off 2020 with the first Wheels Up events in Miami and look forward to delivering more unique experiences for our members to create special memories on and off the ramp.

He added, “We’re glad to have kicked off 2020 with the first Wheels Up events in Miami and look forward to delivering more unique experiences for our members to create special memories on and off the ramp.”

The event came days after Wheels Up closed on its acquisition of Delta Private Jets. The deal makes Delta Air Lines its largest shareholder. Separately, Wheels Up has appointed Gail Grimmett, a former executive with Delta as chief experience officer, a new position.
