Airbus Corporate Jets debuts the ACJ TwoTwenty

According to Airbus, the ACJ TwoTwenty stands out for offering more than double the cabin space of traditional long-range business jets. The aircraft boasts more than 786 square feet of floor space, with an expansive six-zone cabin, two extra cabin zones for additional privacy, a true office environment with “best-in-class connectivity,” and 55-inch 4K televisions. The master suite features a California King bed and en suite bathroom with a rain shower.

Despite having twice the cabin space of ultra-long-range business jets, Airbus projects the AJC TwoTwenty will have lower operating costs because of reduced maintenance and training costs. The TwoTwenty is powered by Pratt & Whitney engines, “designed for lower fuel burn and CO₂ emissions, lowering costs, and reducing impact on the environment.”

“The ACJ TwoTwenty is set to become a game-changer in the business aviation market,” said Sean McGeough, vice president of corporate jets for North America. “It offers a unique combination of unmatched cabin space, intercontinental range, state-of-the-art amenities, and competitive pricing.”

“With a range of up to 5,650 nm (more than 12 flight hours), the ACJ TwoTwenty can meet requirements of 99.9% of all U.S. departures, connecting city pairs including Los Angeles to London, Miami to Buenos Aires, and New York to Istanbul,” the company said.

“As with all ACJ aircraft, the ACJ TwoTwenty is capable of flying with up to a 50 [percent] blend of kerosene and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) while keeping to the technical specifications of Jet A,” the company said. Airbus proclaims that all of its commercial aircraft and helicopters will be capable of operating with 100 percent SAF by 2030.

In addition, Airbus Corporate Jets released the findings of a survey that showed 82 percent of U.S.-based business aviation financiers and private jet brokers expect access to business aviation financing to increase over the next three years. The same study found that 98 percent of respondents believe business aviation finance rates are still attractive, and it is still better to use credit when buying an aircraft as opposed to tying up capital.
