Wheels Up Experience, Inc. is setting a new industry-acclaimed precedent with the coming launch of an innovative maintenance facility located at Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) in 2024. This investment represents a strategic realignment of the company’s maintenance resources to better serve its geographic network and flight demand density. Wheels Up has collaborated with MRO providers FEAM Aero and AVEX Aviation in Cincinnati and Broomfield, CO, respectively, to facilitate placement opportunities for affected staff.
To prepare for the opening of the PBI facility, resources will be realigned from the existing facilities that have low utilization rates and low organic network flow and flight traffic. This will result in the closure of current maintenance operations in Cincinnati and Broomfield, CO, and the transfer of mobile service units from Sacramento, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, and a select number of units from Burbank, CA to the Eastern U.S. Additionally, resources from Wheels Up’s Fort Lauderdale facility will be moved to PBI in the very near future.
