Bond doesn't get the mission in the mail, he gets an important message. Giving him the mission would be MI-style and not Bondian, as you correctly point out.
On the other hand Bond has a tradition of using new tech. Toyota has invested a lot of money in their air taxi and it's planned to be operational next year, maybe in Japan. I'd like to see this in Bond movie! It doesn't have to be a big part of the plot. Maybe Bond uses the air taxi to move from A to B without much comment. The taxi can be hailed by smartphone like an Uber taxi and a pilot flies you.
Another possibility is to paint the taxi black or green and use it as an inflltration vehicle. the air taxi is electric and it generates only a small fraction of the noise a helicopter makes.

I don't think it would be the mission in that letter. As you point out, thos wou be more MI than 007. An important message, that's all.
