The company invested in british startup called Urban-Air Port that has plan to build over 200 flying taxi hubs in 65 diffrent countries , in the next 5 years.

But vechincles are not the only factor to consider in on-demand taxi buiness. The success of this companies like Uber are built around the simplicity and accesability of reserving a ride. The customer just needs to select where he wanna be drop-off and in the matter of minute he can be there. It’s easy with cars because everywhere we have architecture built for this kind of travel.

    What a news. First thing came to my mind when read the above article for the first time: Uber Copter. I was told about this service a few years ago. I do remember that I found it really amazing that time.

    Unfortunately, I don’t know whatever this service is still being provided.
