UBER has revealed it will push ahead with trials of its futuristic “flying taxi” concept in Melbourne, despite delays and challenges associated with the global pandemic (TD 12 Jun 2019).
Recent media reports had suggested the ambitious travel project was set to be scrapped, however, Uber Elevate chief Eric Allison said the company remained committed to Melbourne and was mulling trials within the next two years.
“We are still really excited about Melbourne, and we are still committed to [the city] being the first international expansion market outside of the United States,” he said.
Uber had previously stated that the biggest challenge with getting the Uber Elevate services off the ground would be the certification process, which could take “some time” the company conceded.
