What Actually Happened to Uber Air?
Uber Air was the “last mile by air” piece of Uber Elevate, a program Uber announced in 2016 that also included Uber Copter (helicopter rides Uber did briefly run between Manhattan and JFK airport, which has also since ended). The pitch was small electric aircraft (eVTOLs — electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles) ferrying riders over traffic-choked routes, with Uber handling the ground legs on either end.
It never got that far. In December 2020, Uber sold Uber Elevate — including the Uber Air concept — to Joby Aviation, an aircraft manufacturer, as part of a deal where Uber also invested in Joby. Uber’s own Elevate pages are gone from uber.com today; the flying-taxi effort now belongs to Joby, not Uber. Joby has continued developing an electric air taxi and, notably, still partners with Uber for the ground-transportation legs of the trip (booking an Uber to and from Joby’s “vertiports”), which is likely where some of the old “Uber Air” association still lingers online.
So: no, an “Uber Air promo code” isn’t something that’s ever going to show up, because the product this page was written for was cancelled — by Uber — before it reached riders. We’re not going to keep dangling a coupon that was never real.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an Uber Air promo code?
No. Uber Air never launched as a public, bookable ride. Uber sold the whole Elevate program (which included Uber Air) to Joby Aviation in December 2020, before any consumer promo code could have existed.
Can I still book a flying taxi through Uber?
Not through Uber directly. Joby Aviation now owns the electric air-taxi program and operates its own app, though Joby and Uber still partner so you can book an Uber for the ground portion of a trip to and from Joby’s vertiports.
What about Uber Copter?
Uber Copter, the helicopter leg of the same Elevate program, also ended — it briefly ran between Manhattan and JFK Airport but is no longer operating as an Uber product.
So what’s a real, working Uber discount?
Code UBERHOTVALUE on our Uber Promo Code page — that’s for Uber’s actual, current rideshare and delivery service.
