Our story

Aaron Colodne — an enthusiastic pilot — always felt the best part of family travel was the journey itself. He founded DineUp in 2022 with the aim of rekindling excitement for flying by enhancing a traveler's experience with exceptional food and wellness offerings. Based in Los Angeles, our operations extend across both coasts, bringing top-tier service to passengers nationwide.

Our vision is to completely change the global perception of the aviation food experience

We’re on a mission to become the leading in-flight experience brand by disrupting operations, elevating the passenger experience, and rethinking economic models.

2023

Established our Los Angeles headquarters, partnered with Erewhon Market, and launched a pilot program with the Flexjet Van Nuys hub.

2024

Added brand partnerships in Los Angeles and New York, contracted with a private company for employee in-flight catering, and expanded our collaboration with Flexjet across the country.

Beyond

Continuing our partnerships with key food and wellness brands, expansion to new private-sector markets, and preparing for launch in the commercial sector.

Our values

Find sustainable solutions

We're all agents of change to find sustainable solutions that have a material impact on the aviation industry.

Focus on the experience

At our core, we're an experience company. We ask ourselves every day, how will this initiative or solution improve the experience of our customers, partners, and employees?

Trust the teamwork

We can’t do this alone, and we welcome collaboration with teammates, partners, and customers.

Do what’s right

Right is more powerful than fast or easy.

Share the passion

We share a common passion for the industry, for the solution, and for the journey.

Push boundaries

We disrupt the aviation industry with creativity and unique approaches.

Celebrate simplicity

Simple solutions are powerful, and we focus on what we do well to get us where we need to go.
