Delta Air Lines and its private aviation partner, Wheels Up Experience Inc., announced an enhanced integration between their services. Starting in early January 2026, Wheels Up members can book commercial Delta flights directly through the Wheels Up portal.
This new self-service feature reinforces the strategic partnership between the two companies. Members can use their existing Wheels Up funds to purchase tickets on Delta. The goal is to create a seamless travel experience that combines private and commercial aviation.
The integration allows travelers to easily plan complex journeys. For example, a traveler might fly a premium Delta cabin to a major hub. They would then take a Wheels Up private flight for the final leg to a regional destination.
Delta's stock saw no significant market reaction specifically attributed to this announcement.
