Uber Technologies Inc., the U.S. developer of a flying taxi service, plans to launch flying vehicles with a pilot by 2020, the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Holden, said on Thursday.




Air taxi will initially carry passengers in the area of Dallas and on 2020 Dubai Expo. The cost of the trip is expected to be comparable to the UberX rate and will total $1.32 per mile.

The company is already working with several aircraft manufacturers, including Aurora Flight Services and Aircraft Pipistrel that develop flying cars based on the technology of vertical take-off. In addition, Uber has agreed with the owners of houses in the two cities for the equipment of landing sites, according to MarketWatch.
