Uber had launched its helicopter ride service almost six months ago called Uber Copter. Uber Copter was started in New York City on July 9 between Lower Manhattan and the John F Kennedy Airport. The eight-minute flight was made available to only Platinum and Diamond members of the Uber loyalty program.
Traffic nowadays is becoming troublesome and the best way to beat the office hour congestion is definitely a copter.
