Uber, the globally known digital cab-hailing service, has taken its operation a notch higher by launching its first ever helicopter service in New York, America today
It commenced its new operation by ferrying passengers from Manhattan to JFK airport in what it is hoped will be a service rolled out across America.
Customers could order the helicopter on their app and for $200 – $250 one-way be transported from their homes to the heliport, then straight onto a HeliFlite charter for the eight minute ride to the airport.
Passengers can request the ride immediately, or up to five days in advance. On arriving in JFK, they can book another “Uber Copter” back into the City.
