Uber has been operating in Kelowna since early June, but the city’s airport remains a notable exception to its service area.
Travellers arriving at YLW this holiday season will not be able to use the ride-hailing giant to book a trip to their final destination.
“Uber, to this date, has not come to the table,” said airport CEO Sam Samaddar, in an interview with Castanet.
For its part, Uber told Castanet it has no further comment on the situation beyond what it told Vancouver lawyer Kyla Lee on social media, a brief statement that read, in part:
“We would love to support pickups at the Kelowna airport and we continue to engage with local stakeholders on how to make that happen.”
