Uber is one of the largest taxi companies on the planet although it is practically not certified to do this in any country where it offers its services, and for some time the company is not limited to cars, but also offers the possibility of using helicopters.
Uber's air taxi service is currently expanding thanks to an agreement with Airbus, the latter offering a series of helicopters that will be used in a pilot program aimed at partially reducing transport costs for Uber services.
The Uber company believes that it can substantially reduce the costs of helicopter transportation so that many more people have access to this type of service, and if Uber has proven anything to us so far, then there are very high chances that its plans will succeed. fulfill.
Practically, in a few weeks, people will book a helicopter from their iPhone for a trip in the same way as they call a taxi to be transported somewhere, and it will be interesting to see how much the costs of helicopter transportation can be reduced.
Airbus Group SE will provide helicopters to Uber Technologies Inc. for its on-demand services, the European plane maker's chief executive said Sunday. Its a pilot project, we'll see where it goes—but it's pretty exciting. The project will launch at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah this week, he said. Airbus did not provide financial details of the agreement.
