INSPIRE TOP JETS

AIRBUS ACJ TWOTWENTY Airbus’ Corporate Jet unit believes its ACJ TwoTwenty, a private jet version of the Airbus A220-100 that seats 135 passengers, is ready to fi ll a niche for customers who want a luxurious VIP airliner experience but don’t need a record-setting range. The TwoTwenty o ff ers 786 sq ft of cabin space for up to 19 passengers, which Airbus says is about three times more than large cabin private jets. The cabin can be con fi gured for up to six di ff erent zones, and cabin height is a spacious 6 ft, 6 in with a cabin width of 10 ft, 8 in, and cabin length of 78 ft, 1 in. Key features include all seats capable of reclining into fl at beds, a dining or board table seating up to eight, and space for a king-size bed in the Owner’s Suite with an en-suite bathroom and a rain shower. You can also connect to colleagues and business partners via video conference on a 55-in fl at-screen monitor. And, with USB sockets at each seat with inductive chargers in credenzas and cabinets, your team will never run out of power. Corporate Jet Investor lists the new jet’s pros as “space and cost. A huge cabin with more than 90 styles and layouts with an impressive range.” On the con side, it notes that the ACJ TwoTwenty will fl y up to 5,650 nautical miles, the equivalent of over 12 fl ight hours. However, that is about 1,500 nautical miles short of a Global 7500’s range. Future TwoTwenty owners may just fi nd that designing the interior and choosing between all the options is half the fun, as ACJ’s Creative Studio allows you to envision di ff erent cabin con fi gurations in real-size virtual reality.
