Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On April 29, 2026, Wheels Up Experience Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release regarding the retirement of legacy jet aircraft fleets in furtherance of its fleet modernization strategy. A copy of such press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”).

The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report and Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing made by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report and Exhibit 99.1 furnished herewith contain certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other important factors, many of which are outside of the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies of the Company regarding the future, including, without limitation: (i) the Company’s ongoing business transformation, including the execution of its fleet modernization and operational efficiency and productivity initiatives, and its ability to realize the expected commercial, financial and operational benefits during and after the expected period of transition; and (ii) the Company’s growth plans and the scalability of its aviation platform, including its ability to realize scale efficiencies and align to customer demand. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “strive,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that statement is not forward-looking. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements can be found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 10, 2026 and the Company's other filings with the SEC from time to time. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required by law, the Company does not intend to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Current Report.
