Uber is venturing into the flight bookings sector – largely being dominated by platforms like Expedia, Kayak, Lastminute.com, and Skyscanner – as it builds on its existing services that include train and coach ticket bookings in the UK.

The ride-hailing giant launched international and domestic flight bookings on its UK app [in partnership with travel booking company Hopper](https://media.hopper.com/news/uber-takes-to-the-skies-with-flight-bookings-now-available-in-the-uk-uber), with plans to further expand in the coming weeks.

While this is not Uber's first foray into the aviation industry, it represents a fresh approach. In 2019, the company introduced Uber Copter, offering $200 helicopter rides between Manhattan and JFK Airport.

However, due to the global pandemic and ensuing travel restrictions, the service was discontinued in 2020.
