Mori Building City Air Services signed an agreement with the airline and will provide the service at least through March 31, 2010.

On arrival at NRT, first-class passengers will be taken by limo on a 15-min. drive to the nearby Narita (Sakura) Heliport.

From there it is a 15-min. helicopter flight to Ark Hills Heliport in the centrally located Akasaka district that is headquarters for many multinational companies, embassies, major hotels and retail centers.

The service will be operated with Eurocopter EC135s seating 4-5 passengers.
