Voom launches in Mexico City
Airbus Helicopters subsidiary Voom has launched its on-demand helicopter booking platform in Mexico City.
Voom is an on-demand helicopter booking platform allowing passengers to request a seat on a helicopter within minutes. The platform aims to provide a more efficient transportation option to daily commuters in some of the world’s most congested cities.
Riders can book and take off in as little as 60 minutes or plan their trip up to seven days in advance. They need to arrive at the helipad – located in Montes Urales and Interlomas, Mexico City International Airport and Toluca International Airport - 15 minutes before boarding time.
Mexico City has substantial helicopter infrastructure already in place, with more than 200 helipads in its metro area. Mexico also has a dedicated air traffic control for helicopters, allowing for more efficient air transportation.
The platform launched in São Paulo, Brazil, in 2017.
