Blade will launch a pilot program on December 1 offering weekday commuter flights between Manhattan and Westchester County Airport that aim to cut peak travel time from more than 90 minutes to 12 minutes. Flights will be offered in the mornings and evenings; prices range from $125 with the Blade Commuter Pass to $225 for the standard fare.

Joby Aviation’s stock rose 7.5% after the company announced it will integrate Blade’s flight services into the Uber app next year. The expansion builds on Joby’s August 2025 acquisition of Blade’s passenger business and its existing partnership with Uber. Uber users will be able to book Blade flights directly in the app, initially in the greater New York area and southern Europe, supporting Joby’s plan for an accelerated market entry in multiple global cities. Joby says the integration is a logical step toward deploying its quiet, zero-emissions eVTOL aircraft carrying four passengers plus a pilot at speeds up to 200 mph. » Más en de.investing.com
