Catch A Ride With Uber Helicopter
Are u looking to take a helicopter ride around the city? Well, soon it will be just a click of a button away through Uber’s app! Uber is said to be partnering with Airbus, a European aircraft company, on a test program to provide helicopter rides on demand through its application just as it currently does with car rides.
“It’s a pilot project, we’ll see where it goes—but it’s pretty exciting,” Tom Enders, CEO of Airbus, told The Wall Street Journal at an event on Sunday. For Uber, helicopters could prove to be a big ticket item that expands its reach beyond taxi rides and helps justify its lofty $62.5 billion valuation.
And we couldn’t be more excited for this feature to come out! For more details be sure to check out the video above.
