空中客車集團已與Uber達成合作，提供按需直升機服務。

歐洲飛機制造商空中客車，將向Uber提供空客H125和H130直升機。據《華爾街日報》報道，雙方的此次合作正在猶他州的圣丹斯電影節（Sundance Film Festival）上接受檢驗。空中客車首席執行官湯姆?恩德斯在接受采訪時表示：“這是一個試點項目。我們會關注它的結果——不過這確實令人非常興奮。”

Uber一直在嘗試融合除傳統汽車服務之外的其他交通模式，包括在某些國家推出的人力車和輪船服務等，此次并非Uber第一次測試直升機服務。

這項新按需服務名為UberChopper，三年前便在紐約進行了第一次測試，在曼哈頓和漢普頓斯之間運送客戶。2015年，在戛納電影節和波納若音樂藝術節上，Uber再次進行了測試。雖然恩德斯并未透露任何財務詳情，但之前乘坐直升機的費用在數百至數千美元不等。（財富中文網）

Airbus Group airbus-group-n-v has partnered with Uber to offer an on-demand helicopter service.

The European airplane manufacturer will be providing Uber with Airbus H125 and H130 helicopters. The new collaboration is being tested at the Sundance Film Festival this week in Utah, according to the Wall Street Journal. “It’s a pilot project,” Airbus chief executive Tom Enders told the publication in an interview, “We’ll see where it goes—but it’s pretty exciting.”

Uber has been expanding to incorporate forms of transportation aside from its regular car service, including rickshaws and boats in some countries, and this won’t be the first time the company experiments with helicopters.

UberChopper, as the new on-demand service is being called, was first tested three years ago in New York, flying customers between Manhattan and the Hamptons. It tested again this past summer at the Cannes Film Festival and the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. Though Enders didn’t divulge any financial details, the rides have previously cost between hundred of dollars and thousands of dollars.
