Airbus sees important market for ACJneo Family in Middle East

Airbus sees an important potential market for its new ACJneo Family in the Middle East, where private jets are well established as business tools for companies, billionaires and governments, helping them to be more productive and efficient. Airbus’ ACJneo Family initially comprises the ACJ319neo and ACJ320neo. The ACJ319neo will fly eight passengers 6,750nm/12,500 km – equivalent to more than 15 hours’ flying time, while the ACJ320neo will fly 25 passengers 6,000nm/11,100 km, or more than 13 hours in the air. The aircraft further capitalise on the Airbus’ modern and innovative family, bringing even more city-pairs within nonstop range. Deliveries of the ACJ320neo and ACJ319neo are due to begin in the fourth quarter of 2018 and second quarter of 2019, respectively. Airbus has already won several sales for the ACJneo Family, including an ACJ320neo for Acropolis Aviation of the UK and an ACJ319 for Alpha Star Aviation of Saudi Arabia.
