Joby Aviation and Uber Expand Global Partnership to Bring Blade Flights to Uber App by 2026
Joby Aviation and Uber are expanding their global partnership to bring Blade's helicopter and seaplane services to the Uber app by 2026. Joby Aviation acquired Blade Air Mobility's passenger business for up to $1.25 billion in August and plans to launch its own electric air taxi service globally using Blade's infrastructure. This collaboration builds on their previous partnership, which started in 2019 when Joby acquired Uber's flying taxi division, Elevate.
