The cost of ordering a helicopter will hopefully fall, said Enders. Uber has previously offered helicopter rides on demand at certain events such as the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix where it cost around £400.
Airbus will provide the helicopters for the chopper taxi service which can then be booked through the Uber app.
