The additional revenue from this stream is a drop in the bucket to Uber. I could be off here, but this seems like they will likely use these type of things just as advertisements and branding.

Hey there, we actually launched this as a precursor to our Uber Air service with all electric VTOLs -- Uber.com/air

It is. They did Uber helicopter at Cannes ad festival last year or the year before but it was a stunt. They also have Uber boats in Croatia but the locals told me it basically doesn’t exist as nobody local wants to do it.
