New Delhi (CNN Business) A helicopter app for the wealthy has picked India's financial capital Mumbai as its first city outside the United States.

Blade allows users to book a helicopter trip between New York City and the Hamptons for $795, or shorter flights in and around Manhattan and other cities like Miami and Los Angeles.

It will start offering a similar on-demand service in Mumbai early next year, the company announced on Tuesday.

Blade will have hubs in Mumbai's upscale oceanfront neighborhood Juhu and in Mahalaxmi, home to the city's famous horse racing track. It plans to offer flights between the two heliports, as well as to Pune, the closest major city, and Shirdi, a popular religious site about 150 miles away.

The company is setting up a local subsidiary, Blade India, in partnership with Indian investment firm Hunch Ventures. It will be headed by Amar Abrol, former CEO of Malaysian budget airline AirAsia.
