Airbus announced on June 16 the delivery of the ACH130 Aston Martin Edition to NOT A HOTEL Co., Ltd., a company offering shared villas that blend architecture, technology, and hospitality. This marks the first time this helicopter model will be operated in Japan.

NOT A HOTEL has also ordered a second ACH130 Aston Martin Edition, enhancing its service offerings to deliver higher-quality experiences across Japan. Through its shared ownership mobility service, 'NOT A GARAGE,' NOT A HOTEL connects destinations nationwide, offering experiences that go far beyond mere transportation.

Daisuke Eto, Representative Director of NOT A HOTEL Co., Ltd., said: 'NOT A HOTEL has long proposed new lifestyles through one-of-a-kind architecture. Our mobility service, NOT A GARAGE, launched in July last year, received over 200 inquiries on its first day. Thanks to strong support, the ACH130 Aston Martin Edition has already sold out, reflecting high expectations from our customers. This aircraft, where Airbus’s advanced technology meets Aston Martin’s iconic aesthetics, connects our locations in Nasu, Kitakaruizawa, and Minakami in under an hour, enabling seamless travel. By freeing guests from the constraints of conventional transportation, even previously hard-to-reach locations become prime destinations for exceptional experiences—redefining the concept of premium real estate. We look forward to sharing the breathtaking views of our architectural masterpieces and ever-changing landscapes from above with our guests and their families. We are steadily preparing to deliver a new form of luxury that exceeds expectations, with service launch scheduled for September.'

Jean-Luc Alphonse, Chief Operating Officer and President of Airbus Helicopters Japan Co., Ltd., commented: 'We are delighted to welcome NOT A HOTEL into the Airbus family with the delivery of Japan’s first ACH130 Aston Martin Edition. The unparalleled appeal of this helicopter—born from the fusion of Airbus’s cutting-edge technology and Aston Martin’s legendary design—has made this pioneering introduction in Japan possible. The ACH130’s innovative features and outstanding performance set new benchmarks in safety, comfort, and efficiency. NOT A HOTEL’s vision of delivering unprecedented luxury hospitality resonates perfectly with the ACH130’s mission, promising truly unforgettable experiences at every stage of the journey.'
