Elevate your Abu Dhabi race weekend with UberCHOPPER

November 22, 2017 / Dubai

If you’re heading to Abu Dhabi from Dubai this weekend, now you can take to the skies! We’ve teamed up with Alpha Tours to bring you UberCHOPPER helicopter routes to Yas Island so you can skip the traffic and arrive in style for your Grand Prix experience.

Starting at noon on Wednesday, November 22, Uber users can request the UberCHOPPER Abu Dhabi Shuttle and pre-book one of two flight options at the tap of a button.

With every pre-booked UberCHOPPER flight, transportation will be included from your pick-up point in Dubai to the helipad at Atlantis The Palm, where you’ll take off directly for Yas Marina Circuit gates. In less than 30 min you’ll arrive, and you can request an Uber to pick you up from the Yas Links helipad.
