Uber has announced a new partnership with Joby Aviation to bring helicopter rides to its platform as soon as 2026. Through its acquisition of Blade, a helicopter and air transportation company, Joby aims to integrate its quiet, zero-emissions aircraft into the Uber app, offering customers a glimpse into the future of travel. This move follows Uber’s previous partnership with Joby in 2019 and the sale of its Elevate flying taxi division in 2020.

As the companies work towards regulatory approval from the Federal Aviation Administration, Uber president Andrew Macdonald believes this partnership will usher customers into the next generation of air transportation. Stay tuned for more details on booking rides in the years ahead.
