Material changes versus the prior comparable period

The company also amended the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC agreement to reflect related adjustments to membership interests.
Guidance, outlook, risks, contingencies, and unusual items

- Forward-looking statements are subject to risks described in the company’s 2022 Form 10-K and other SEC filings.
