According to Wheels Up, two Challenger 300s are expected to enter service at the beginning of April.

Additionally, a pair of updated Phenom 300s with the new livery will enter service this month.

Both are part of its previously announced fleet modernization strategy.

The Phenom 300s are part of its acquisition of GrandView Aviation.

According to the Delta Air Lines-backed flight provider, the remaining Phenom 300 fleet will continue to undergo interior and livery upgrades.

The super-midsize Challenger 300s are coming via the preowned private jet market.

“The newer aircraft will continue to position Wheels Up at the forefront of the industry, offering private aviation solutions that deliver greater flexibility, enhanced comfort, and reliable access across the country,” Wheels Up said.

The plan was announced in tandem last October with a $332 million revolving facility with Bank of America.

The Phenom 300s can currently be booked.

Wheels Up is the fourth-largest U.S. charter/fractional private jet operator.
