Initially incubated in A^3, Airbus’ Silicon Valley outpost, Voom launched commercial operations in April 2017 in Sao Paulo, flying thousands of passengers over the last ten months, and plans to expand its presence this year.
“Urban transportation on and below ground is reaching its limits, and naturally Airbus is looking to the skies to redefine a third axis for public transportation solutions,” said Matthieu Louvot, Airbus Helicopters executive vice-president customer support and services.
“Voom will allow us to grow the usage of existing helicopters for the benefit of urban citizens and operators. Together, we will also explore and develop new business models in order to support our innovation roadmap.”
The platform is building the future of urban air mobility today by making helicopter transportation accessible and affordable to urban commuters. It connects travellers with trusted and licensed helicopter operator partners, providing a new escape to urban congestion by taking to the skies. Voom air taxi flights can be booked on their website in as little as 60 minutes in advance.
