International car service company Uber has branched out to provide helicopter flights at certain times through what the company calls UberChopper. The flights are posted on Uber’s blog at blog.uber.com. Most recently, Uber offered a free promo Christmas flight for four over the Silicon Valley.
The flights are conducted through local helicopter operators. Most of the time the flights are cost-based and include transportation from the local area to the location of the UberChopper in an UberBlack vehicle — the premium option, which includes a licensed chauffeur driving a black sedan or SUV.
