An Australian tech entrepreneur recently completed a 10,000-nm journey in 41 days, making 39 stops across 21 countries in an Airbus Helicopters ACH130 Aston Martin Edition. John-Paul Thorbjornsen took delivery of the aircraft at Airbus’s Oxford, UK facility on February 7 and decided to fly it home, as opposed to having it shipped. “It is such a delight to see how our customer has brought to life the ACH130 Aston Martin Edition through this amazing journey, which fully embraced the power of flight in style,” said Frederic Lemos, head of Airbus Corporate Helicopters.

“What sets the ACH130 Aston Martin Edition apart from the rest is the intricate details and finest upholstery that created not just a well-appointed interior but an extremely smooth ride in the spacious cabin,” said Thorbjornsen.

The ACH130 Aston Martin Edition offers a range of interior and exterior designs created by the British sports car builder and installed at Airbus Helicopters in Oxford. Features include custom paint, seating for seven including the pilot, and an interior scheme with fabrics including ultra-suede and leather shades that match those offered on the automobile. Two years after its launch, ACH has sold all 15 ACH130 Aston Martin Edition helicopters in the initial production lot and is continuing production. Orders have come from customers in Australia, Europe, Latin America, New Zealand, North America, and Southeast Asia.
