MANILA, Philippines — Sick of Metro Manila’s horrid traffic? A pioneer helicopter ride-sharing platform is set to take off next week in the Philippines. Tech startup Ascent and air operator INAEC Aviation Corp. launched yesterday its helicopter ride-sharing and on-demand platform in the country, which will commence operations on April 8. Its Makati to BGC route, which will reduce travel time from 30 minutes to three minutes, would cost P6,900 per seat. A NAIA to Tagaytay route costs P21,900 and will shorten travel time to 20 minutes from the usual 2.5 hours.
