Strategic Partnership Between HIS and AirX

In a significant move towards revolutionizing air transport options, HIS (H.I.S. Co., Ltd.), headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has entered into a strategic partnership with AirX, a Tokyo-based technology company specializing in air mobility solutions. Founded in 2015, AirX is instrumental in developing the infrastructure needed for air transportation, not limited to helicopters and private jets but also encompassing next-generation aircraft known as eVTOLs (electric Vertical TakeOff and Landing).

Aim of the Collaboration

The collaboration between HIS and AirX aims to enhance the development of tourism-related content both in Japan and globally. With a focus on delivering unique travel experiences, the partnership specifically outlines several key activities:

1. Selection of Airlines and Maintenance: Together, the companies will work on identifying suitable airlines for operating helicopters and eVTOLs, ensuring a stable and efficient operational environment through thorough maintenance oversight.

2. Reservation System for Air Transport: A robust booking system will be established for customers looking to utilize helicopter and eVTOL services, thereby simplifying the process of accessing these travel options.

3. Development and Sale of Travel Products: The partnership will also look into proposing and selling various travel products that leverage the unique capabilities of helicopters and eVTOLs across different countries.

4. Global Sales Development: HIS and AirX will collaborate to extend and develop sales channels for helicopters and eVTOLs internationally, tapping into markets that are currently underserved.

Services to Be Offered

As a direct outcome of this partnership, HIS plans to initiate helicopter services in countries such as France, Switzerland, Monaco, and New Zealand starting January of next year. This initiative aims to connect prominent locations like Nice, Monaco, and Cannes, significantly reducing travel times while providing individuals with efficient transit options.

Additionally, the partnership will offer breathtaking sightseeing flights over breathtaking wine country landscapes, allowing passengers to experience these stunning views from the sky. Customized private charters will be provided for clients wishing to reach their desired destinations directly, ensuring a premium and exclusive travel experience.

The entire initiative is designed to appeal to high-end clients who value both time efficiency and luxury in their travel experiences. HIS is committed to delivering not only a reduction in travel time but also a premium tourist experience that’s unparalleled in the current market.

Target Audience and Business Development

Beyond enhancing the transportation experience for individual travelers, HIS and AirX will target businesses and affluent individuals globally to collaborate on customer acquisition strategies for helicopter and eVTOL services. Utilizing HIS's extensive existing customer networks, they plan to drive sales of aircraft and related services effectively.
