Rideshare company Uber plans to offer seats on Blade helicopters and seaplanes directly through its app, allowing customers to book fast rides between city hubs, to airports, and more, the company shared with Travel + Leisure. Currently, space on Blade's helicopters to the airport start at $195 per person (significantly more than a typical Uber ride), while larger groups can instead charter an entire Blade helicopter accommodating up to eight passengers starting at around $2,000, according to the helicopter company.

This is a strategically important acquisition that will support the successful launch of Joby's commercial operations in Dubai, our subsequent global rollout and our continued leadership in the sector.
