Wheels Up is the new American Express Premium Private Jet Program partner. It replaces Delta Private Jets, the Amex partner since 2016.

Magellan Jets is offering two extra-value packages if you purchase 100 hours of flight time on a Gulfstream G450 or Challenger 300/350. The offer runs through May 31.
Jet sharing scheduled private aviation service Aero launched by Uber co-founder Garrett Camp is adding a second route. The new flights were first reported by Aviation International News last week.
