UK holidaymakers will soon be able to book their flights via the Uber app, thanks to the latest move by the cab-hailing service. Financial Times said Uber’s newly-launched domestic and international flight bookings will roll out over the coming weeks.

The company’s general manager for the UK, Andrew Brem, described the move as "the latest and most ambitious step" it has taken to achieve its goal to become a wider travel booking platform.

The San Francisco-based company, which already offers train and coach ticket bookings in the UK, first revealed its plans to add train, bus and flight bookings to its UK app in April last year and launched the first two options a few months later.

For its flights, the business has partnered with travel booking site Hopper. According to the Financial Times, Uber will charge a tiny commission on each sale and may add a booking fee to its products in the future.[/url]

Makes sense, but like most of their ideas it will never make money.

Selling flights is a massively competitive market with dozens and dozens of long-established firms involved.
