Wheels Up names Delta CFO Erik Snell to board, replaces Dan Janki

Wheels Up Experience Inc. (NYSE: UP) announced board changes, appointing Erik Snell, Delta Air Lines' chief financial officer, as a Delta designee to replace Dan Janki, Delta's chief operating officer.

Snell previously served on the Wheels Up board from July 2021 to September 2023. He held various senior roles at Delta, including chief customer experience officer and president of Delta Private Jets before its acquisition by Wheels Up. Janki's departure follows his recent appointment as Delta's chief operating officer.

Timothy Armstrong will retire from the board after serving two three-year terms as an independent director since Wheels Up became publicly traded. His term ends at the company's annual stockholder meeting in June.

The board expects to nominate Roger Farah for election at the annual meeting to succeed Armstrong. Farah brings four decades of experience across luxury, retail and consumer brands, including roles as chairman of Tiffany & Co., co-chief executive officer of Tory Burch, and president and chief operating officer of Ralph Lauren.

Farah served as a director of Aetna from 2007 until its merger with CVS Health in 2018 and expects to end his tenure as a CVS Health director in May. He currently serves as a director of The Progressive Corporation.

"Erik's appointment further underscores the continued strength of our strategic partnership with Delta Air Lines," said George Mattson, Wheels Up's chief executive officer, according to the company's press release.

Wheels Up plans to file its definitive proxy statement for the annual meeting with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 24, 2026, containing biographical information about Snell and Farah.
