Uber在纽约上线直升机“飞的”服务
Uber在纽约上线直升机“飞的”服务，从曼哈顿直升机坪至纽约肯尼迪国际机场，飞行时间8分钟，每位乘客票价200至225美元不等，每架直升机可以容纳五名乘客。
从曼哈顿到肯尼迪国际机场，乘车至少需要一个小时，高峰期可能要花两个小时甚至更久。Uber承诺，使用Uber Copter地面交通+空中交通的总时长不超过30分钟。
去机场的乘客首先将被接送至曼哈顿的停机坪，并乘直升机到肯尼迪机场的直升机停机坪，随后Uber将开车将他们送往指定航站楼，从机场返程至曼哈顿的程序一样。每个航班上都有两名飞行员，乘客将在起飞前播放90秒的安全视频。由于空间有限，乘客只允许携带一个手提包和一件重量不超过40磅的手提行李。
Uber CEO达拉·科斯罗萨西表示，如果不是高峰期，Uber的Uber Black高端服务也能把你舒舒服服地送到机场，但价格也差不多是200美元，堵车的时候，Uber的“飞的”是最佳选择。将来肯定会推出无人驾驶飞行器，但目前还是需要飞行员来保障安全。
Uber此前已将洛杉矶和达拉斯列为其Uber Air空中交通服务的试点城市，该公司周二宣布Uber Air将增加第三个试点城市：澳大利亚的墨尔本。Uber计划在2020年开始试飞，并希望该计划在2023年之前具有商业可行性并可供公众使用。
Uber Air计划的很大一部分涉及开发电动直升机飞机，这种飞机既实惠环保，又比传统直升机安静得多，因为它们没有嘈杂的涡轮发动机。由电力驱动的垂直飞机可以实现App一键呼叫服务，最多可以载客4人，Uber曾介绍，驱车需要2个小时到达的距离，未来只需要15分钟就可以直接到达。
