The Guru Take
Uber Elevate is the concept that came first. UberAir (or uberAir) more recently and refers more to the service that will eventually be offered.
UberAir and Uber Elevate both refer to the same program at Uber that has been working on and currently planning to launch it service in 2020. It consists ot "flying cars" or "VTOL" aircraft that would launch from designated areas and transport passengers. However, their use are a bit different.
"Uber Elevate" has been around longer and it also refers to the program, research, and the concept Uber has been investing in, and Uber even offers conferences and summits called "Elevate."
"UberAir" is a more recent term and refers more to the "service type" Uber will offer to its customers, similar to UberX or UberBlack.
Comments
Future transport concepts spark curiosity about how travel might evolve. Comparing services encourages thinking beyond current options. Aviation discussions often include questions about existing airline structures. References drawn from https://alaska-airlines.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html blended into that exploration, focusing on access. Clear information tends to ground speculative conversations.
Thanks. that makes a lot of sense.
You should go edit the wikipedia page on Uber. They mention them as the same, but you are right. It looks like Uber uses the terms differently, even though they dont' seem to cleanly define the terms apart.
