Flying taxis in Delhi, Mumbai soon? Well, Uber’s top boss is interested
Washington DC: Even as Uber announced Melbourne, Australia, as its first international city for the expansion of its futuristic flying taxi service Uber Air, a top company executive said that India continues to be an important market for this vertical.
“We are very interested in India in terms of potential for the Uber Air market in the long run,” said Eric Allison, head of Uber Elevate. “It’s certainly on top of the list of the next places we want to go to.”
Last year, Uber had announced Los Angeles and Dallas as the two cities to begin piloting their aerial taxis, while scouting for a third city outside the United States with India’s Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore being potential candidates.
