Why Uber Copter
Safety is a top priority–all flights are operated by our partner, HeliFlite, a licensed FAA/DOT direct air carrier. HeliFlite has earned ARGUS Platinum and Wyvern Wingman safety ratings, both of which are awarded after an audit of an operator’s safety programs. Heliflite operates twin-engine, dual-piloted aircraft, and all of their pilots are instrument-rated.
HeliFlite has an established Safety Management System in place for its operations. This system employs a data-driven approach to accident prevention by incorporating trend analysis and robust hazard reporting.
You can save time–Uber Copter can change the way you travel, offering door-to-door airport trips designed so you can spend less time stressed and even less time in traffic.
Enjoy a seamless experience–Taking flight can be as simple as ordering a ride. Just open your Uber app, choose when you want to leave, and select the number of seats you need. Uber will do the rest.
