Uber allows user to sync air travel via email integration in India

Ride-hailing major Uber on Thursday introduced a new feature where riders in India can opt to sync their air travel plans with the platform via email integration.

The new feature helps riders pre-book their rides, while being assisted with pre-filled dates and times on their Uber app, corresponding to their flight, saving them the hassle of booking a trip at the last moment.

The new feature is an opt-in, and will require riders to sync their email IDs with their Uber app to be able to access it, the company said in a statement.
