LAS VEGAS, Oct. 20, 2026 – Honeywell Aerospace (Nasdaq: HONA) today announced its Fleet Maintenance Service Plan (FMSP) has been selected by Wheels Up Experience Inc. (NYSE: UP) to support Wheels Up’s fleet of Bombardier CL300/350 Series aircraft.

“As business aviation demand continues to grow, operators are under increasing pressure to keep aircraft available, control maintenance costs and deliver a consistent customer experience,” said Taylor Alberstadt, vice president of Business Aviation at Honeywell Aerospace. “Our maintenance service plan helps operators anticipate needs, leading to greater mission uptime, utilization and long-term cost management.”

Honeywell Aerospace’s traditional Maintenance Service Plan (MSP) delivers fixed-price coverage for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance across avionics, control systems, engines and auxiliary power units, giving operators the confidence to stay on budget and avoid surprise repair bills. Every plan is backed by Honeywell Aerospace’s global network of experts and authorized service centers, ensuring access to genuine parts and consistently high dispatch reliability.

Built on its foundational MSP offering, Honeywell Aerospace caters to the needs of large fleet operators like Wheels Up through a tailored FMSP program, which maintains the core benefits of MSP, while scaling for a larger fleet to provide the type of support valued by fractional, charter and other multi-aircraft owners and operators.  

The continuing growth of Wheels Up Signature membership reflects strong demand for Wheels Up’s improved product and consistent experience across its modernized fleet, which features Bombardier Challenger aircraft as one of two key aircraft types. Wheels Up expects to continue to scale its Challenger fleet to service expected demand growth.

As part of the FMSP, Wheels Up will have access to Honeywell Aerospace’s Ensemble, an end-to-end digital maintenance solution that automatically downloads and transmits engine information to analyze and track engine condition after every flight. The service can detect, analyze and proactively address potential issues with engines before they disrupt flights. It also facilitates digital connections between operational data, engine build records, engine maintenance records and a digital engine logbook.

"In Q2, Wheels Up achieved the highest completion rate and on-time performance in our company's history, and we expect this partnership will only continue to elevate our operational reliability," said Dave Holtz, chief operating officer of Wheels Up. "The predictive insight from Honeywell Aerospace’s Ensemble, paired with their Fleet Maintenance Service Plan, gives our team the tools to keep our Challenger fleet flying at the highest standard, reinforcing the disciplined, data-driven operating model that has driven these record results."

“Aftermarket services are evolving from reactive maintenance to data-driven support, and Ensemble is an important step in that shift,” said Alberstadt. “With Ensemble, operators have access to these crucial insights to identify potential problems early and reduce manual reporting. Then the FMSP gives them access to 24/7 support.”
