优步叫辆...直升机?

The rideshare company launched its Uber Copter service on Tuesday, offering rides from lower Manhattan to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) on weekday afternoons -- for its Platinum and Diamond Uber Rewards members.
这家拼车服务公司周二推出了优步直升机服务,在工作日下午提供从曼哈顿下城到约翰·F·肯尼迪国际机场的运载服务,以奖励其白金和钻石会员。
"We’re excited to announce the first step toward building the future of urban air mobility and transforming urban aviation: Uber Copter," the company said in a press release.

To hail a helicopter, riders must be in a designated zone, in which "Copter" appears as an option within the app.
要想呼叫直升机,乘客必须处在指定的区域内,“直升机”是应用程序中的一个选项。
Chopper rides to JFK can be booked up to five days in advance.

On the way home, you book the rides after your flight lands.

Currently the chopper service is only available on iOS, so Android users are out of luck.
