New York is a target city for OVRY's progressive rollout — not yet available. Land mode is not yet open: the public launch of the app has not happened yet.
New York: Eliminate Urban Friction
New York is one of the cities OVRY's targets as its rollout progresses; it is not open today. What opening here would mean: attacking the friction that defines city travel — helicopter transfers from JFK to Wall Street in under 8 minutes, armoured vehicles for corporate executives, and centralised fleet management for Upper East Side residences.
Helicopter Transfer: JFK to Wall Street in 8 Minutes
The typical JFK-to-Manhattan car transfer takes 45-90 minutes depending on traffic. A helicopter transfer would reduce this to about 8 minutes of flight time. No helicopter partner is operating from the JFK Helicopter Terminal for OVRY's today; dedicated security screening and baggage handling would be part of what opening requires. The Manhattan heliport at Downtown Manhattan Heliport (Wall Street) and West 30th Street Heliport (Midtown) provide direct access to the financial and business districts.
Flights in this class typically offer Wi-Fi, noise-cancelling headsets, and priority landing slots. On the ground, the plan is a vehicle waiting at the heliport — temperature pre-set, refreshments ready, and routing to your final destination already computed.
Armoured SUV Fleet: Security Meets Comfort
For corporate clients requiring ballistic protection, the vehicles planned for New York include the Cadillac Escalade ESV Armoured, Lincoln Navigator Armoured, and Mercedes-Benz S680 Guard, each equipped with run-flat tyres, armoured glass, and secure communication systems. Driver training would cover evasive driving, route analysis, and threat assessment.
Fleet management would be centralised: corporate clients receive a named account contact, monthly billing, and real-time vehicle tracking. Vehicles can be pre-staged at residences, offices, or event venues with a driver on standby.
Executive Mobility Services
Beyond airport transfers, the platform would co-ordinate multi-stop executive itineraries — a morning helicopter to Boston or Washington, an afternoon vehicle meeting in Midtown, an evening in the Hamptons with a helicopter return — with multi-modal bookings on a single itinerary and unified billing.
For Upper East Side residents, dedicated vehicle assignments would be available — the same car and driver for school runs, social engagements, and appointments. Availability would depend on the vehicle booked; no vehicle can be guaranteed before one is reserved.

Partner Standards for This Hub
The partner profiles we're targeting in New York — agencies that meet our verification, security, and service benchmarks.
Corporate ground fleet
We require: Fleet insurance on record, drivers licensed in New York State, and a vehicle inspection documented at intake and at return.
On opening: Would cover recurring corporate accounts, with one booking covering several legs and a single monthly invoice.
Helicopter transfer
We require: Air operator certificate and insurance verified, plus a crew we can identify. No helicopter partner operates for OVRY's today; this profile describes the standard a future partner would have to meet.
On opening: Would cover the helicopter leg between a city airport and the heliports closest to the client's destination, coordinated with the ground leg.
Armoured executive vehicles
We require: Armour specification and certification on file, run-flat equipment checked before each hire, and protection drivers trained for the vehicle they drive.
On opening: Would cover secure transport for corporate clients, with vehicle class and level of protection chosen before the reservation is confirmed.
