Airbus Corporate Jets Adds Enhanced A220-100 to Portfolio

Airbus has confirmed that it is creating a corporate jet based on the A220-100.

The ACJ TwoTwenty will have an increased range enabling the aircraft to fly up to 5,650 nm/10,500 km (over 12 flight hours), directly connecting city pairs like London and Los Angeles, Moscow and Jakarta, Tokyo and Dubai as well as Beijing and Melbourne.

The ACJ TwoTwenty is a clean-sheet design aircraft, based on Airbus’ A220-100 (formerly known as the Bombardier CS 100), featuring advanced materials and state-of-the-art technologies.

Featuring 73m²/785 ft² of floor space distributed over six wide VIP living areas, the cabin of the ACJ TwoTwenty will accommodate up to 18 passengers and feature the latest in-flight connectivity, electro-chromatic windows and LED lighting.

Comlux, with its ACJ-approved completion center in Indianapolis and proven experience in outfitting and upgrading VIP interiors, has been selected as exclusive partner for the outfitting of the first 15 cabins to the latest addition of the ACJ programme.

“We are proud to extend the ACJ product Family with the launch of the ACJ TwoTwenty. The aircraft combines intercontinental range, unmatched personal space and comfort for all passengers. This latest technology platform offers unbeatable economics and unrivalled reliability,” said Benoit Defforge, President ACJ. “Based on its compelling market appeal, we see promising demand for this aircraft in the growing business jet market.”

Airbus has already received orders for 6 ACJ TwoTwenty aircraft, two from Comlux and a four further jets from undisclosed customers.
