Created by the company OHI, Revo is a subsidiary company responsible for the digital platform for helicopter flights.
According to its official website, it is a personalized service that meets any demand, whether to go to the airport or to carry out a business trip.
Despite being new, the company already estimates that it will reach revenues of US$ 80 million and that it will serve around 90,000 people a year by 2028. Check out how much it costs to use Revo and travel on “Uber of helicopters”!
Basically, Revo's service works like the popular dynamic of Uber. The user downloads the app and chooses one of the available points.
Currently, the company makes the following routes: from Avenida Faria Lima to Guarulhos International Airport and to Fazenda Boa Vista, in Porto Feliz, in the interior of São Paulo.
The strategy is to offer fast transportation that guarantees more convenience. This way, your client will no longer have to stay in the chaotic traffic of São Paulo. Two Airbus helicopters, from Omni Taxi Aéreo, are now available.
IHO intends to acquire 12 helicopters by 2028. The use of eVTOL vehicles, the “flying cars”, is also part of the Portuguese company's plan. In fact, there are already agreements with Embraer to acquire them.

The convenience of flying around town using a digital platform comes at a price. In the future, it intends to expand its fleet of helicopters and points served in the city. However, so far, the current routes cost more than three thousand reais.
The shortest stretch from Avenida Faria Lima to Guarulhos Airport costs BRL 3,500 per seat, while the route to the interior of the state is being sold for BRL 5,000.
Besides being atrip which promises agility, prices are justified by the services offered during the flight.
According to the company, the customer will have access to the concierge service. Likewise, luggage will be transported to the helipad using the Portuguese company's exclusive cars.
Despite the high cost, Revo brought a new perspective to transport services in Brazil. Certainly, in addition to the trip, it can be considered a unique experience of luxury and excellence in urban mobility.
