Sao Paulo in Brazil is the first city in the world to have an Uber taxi service with helicopters.
The new Ubercopter service will test for a month.
Ubercopter is a partnership with the European plane maker Airbus
The company uses three helicopter operators in Sao Paulo.
Each can carry up to four passengers with fares ranging from $17 to $80 per seat
Ubercopter intends to transport people between airports, hotels and convention centres.
The service is currently operating from five helipads and four hotels, according to Sabba.
The Ubercopter is the only regular service of its kind provided by Uber, as it is not limited to specific events.
The company has provided helicopter services for the Cannes Film Festival and the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.
Sao Paulo is Brazil's largest city and is notorious for its heavy traffic.
