Uber begins offering helicopter ride service in Manhattan
The famous transfer service company, Uber, has announced that, starting today, it will start offering the service of travel via helicopter. In this way, it seeks that its crew members manage to reach any destination in a matter of minutes.
This new means of travel will connect the city of Manhattan with the John F. Kennedy airport, for which it is expected that this trip will get people there in a few minutes.
It has been announced that the cost of the trip will be between 200 and 225 dollars, and that, in addition, it will only take 8 minutes to reach your destination. All this will make it an unmissable option for those who wish to save travel time.
The new helicopter travel service will be called Uber Copter and will seek to seduce all those people through luxuries, simplicity and speed of travel.
Eric Allison, spokesperson and principal member of Uber Elevate, has pointed out, as a first attraction, the value of saving time with this type of trip:
This is a journey that many travelers take every day, and we see an opportunity to save them a great deal of time.
Uber Copter will also offer ground transportation service from the customer's home or location to the site where the helicopter will be taken. For this reason, it is a fairly complete option and is considered number one when it comes to saving time.
It is not the first time that Uber offers air travel service, since it has its own tourist excursion service in the famous Dubai. Still, it's a first for New York City.
This service can finally be enjoyed after paralyzing all kinds of activities, with respect to it, when the tragic news was known, on June 10, of the death of a pilot for crashing into Time Square while traveling by helicopter. Days later, it was learned that the pilot did not have a license to fly.
The Uber Copter service will begin to become available, starting today, in the city of Manhattan. In this way, the company already hopes that this travel service will be a resounding success.
