Dubbed the Hélicoptère par Hermès” and priced at $6 million, the EC135 helicopter is created by a collaboration between Eurocopter and Hermès, the French luxury goods designer. Let’s get into to it.

“This helicopter illustrates a fusion between design and technology, where every detail has been created for VIP and business travellers,” said Salem Al Kayoumi, FAS’s vice-chairman.

The cabin was completely redesigned by Hermès Interior and Design to maximize available space: Surfaces from floor to ceiling have been covered in ‘Toile H’, a Hermès canvas used to manufacture the firm’s travelware since the nineteen-twenties.

Seats and banquette are handcrafted for exceptional comfort, and upholstered in calf leathers, naturally grained and highly resistant.

Oh very nice!

The craftsmen of Hermès Interior and Design have optimized the use of fabrics and leathers to soften ambient noise and vibration. Consoles, drawers and cabinets have been recessed or placed entirely out of view.

A sliding glass partition now separates passenger compartment and cockpit, enhancing privacy while allowing light to enter.

Overhead Air Conditioning ducts have been center-aligned across the ceiling, providing passengers with cleaner, more symmetrical visuals.

Even the landing gear has been redesigned to allow for easier and more elegant access to the cabin. In short, each aesthetic choice is combined with a functional improvement.

I’m FINE with that! For $6 million it works out to about R51 million. Oh please, It won’t even make a dent in Friday’s R1.5 billion EuroMillions lottery jackpot which is all yours for the taking!
