Taking off: Hudson Yards now has flying cars for CRE tenants

UPDATED March 30, 2019 8:30 a.m.: Through a partnership with Blade, a $150 million transportation startup, office tenants at Related Companies’ megadevelopment have access to a five-minute shuttle service to John F. Kennedy International Airport.

As of this week, the four-year-old aviation company is running a continuous weekday flight service from the West 30th Street Heliport — one of three in the city — for $195.

“That’s finally hit that Uber SUV price point,” said Blade CEO Rob Wiesenthal, explaining that the company looked at what popular rideshare services would charge for a rush-hour trip to JFK from Hudson Yards.
