We might still be waiting on the official rollout of flying cars, but Uber is giving New Yorkers the next best thing—helicopter rides straight from your phone.
🚁 Helicopters Coming To Your Phone
According to reports from the New York Post, Uber will soon allow customers to book helicopter flights directly through the app. That means skipping bumper-to-bumper traffic and trading in honking horns for a skyline view of Manhattan. For anyone who’s ever sat through the infamous Van Wyck crawl, this might sound like a dream come true.
💸 Not Your Everyday Ride
The service will kick off with trips between Manhattan, JFK Airport, and Newark Airport. Uber promises the booking process will be just as seamless as hailing one of their cars—though the price tag will definitely be on the luxury side. Translation: this isn’t your everyday ride to brunch.
🌆 A Step Toward Urban Air Mobility
This new move is part of Uber’s broader expansion into what they’re calling “urban air mobility”—essentially reimagining how people get around crowded cities. While helicopters are the first step, Uber’s been teasing futuristic transportation options for years. And let’s be honest, most of us are still holding out for the day flying cars officially hit the streets.
Until then, New Yorkers with the budget (and the nerves) might get to live out their jet-setter fantasies a little earlier than the rest of us.
