Uber Elevate on Thursday shortlisted five countries that could be home to the first international city to have Uber Air within the next five years.
In addition to this, the company also announced plans to experiment with drone delivery for Uber Eats and demonstrated how potential Uber Air routes in Asia-Pacific cities could complement local transportation.
The five shortlisted countries are Japan, India, Australia, Brazil and France. Uber customers in launch cities will be able to push a button and get a flight on demand.
To enable this, Uber has assembled a network of partners that includes vehicle manufacturers, real estate developers and technology developers, among others.
Dallas and Los Angeles were previously announced as the first two US launch cities, and at the second annual Uber Elevate Summit in May, Uber announced it was seeking an international city as a third partner.
