Airbus Corporate Helicopters has committed to continuing production of the ACH130 Aston Martin Edition after selling out almost the entire initial production run faster than expected.
The helicopter is a special version of the ACH130 featuring a range of interior and exterior designs created by Aston Martin.
Little more than two years after launch ACH has sold all but one of the 15 helicopters covered by its initial production commitment. Orders have come from across the world including South East Asia, Europe, Latin America, New Zealand and North America.
Now ACH has decided to commit to producing another 15 examples to address the continuing interest in the ACH130 Aston Martin Edition.
Head of ACH Frederic Lemos said, βThereβs no question that bringing together our values of
excellence and quality with Aston Martinβs commitment to high-performance automotive
ellegance has resulted in a helicopter that always excites customers. But we really did not
imagine that the market would move so fast, so Iβm delighted to be able to commit to these
future production slots and I look forward to talking to interested customers at EBACE.β
Aston Martinβs executive vice president and chief creative officer, Marek Reichman said, βAs an ultra-luxury brand, Aston Martin is passionate about collaborating with designers and engineers from other disciplines to create special products that represent both our brand values and design ethos. We are delighted with the high interest in the ACH130 Aston Martin Edition and look forward to continuing our fantastic relationship with ACH.β
