The Airbus Corporate Jets’ ACJ TwoTwenty is making its NBAA-BACE debut this year and is on display at Static #AD_07. The aircraft is creating a new market segment, the ‘Xtra Large Bizjet,’ by emphasizing cabin space, range, and technology at a similar price point to ultra-long-range jets.

The ACJ TwoTwenty stands out for offering more than double the cabin space of traditional long-range business jets. With over 786 square feet of floor space, the expansive six-zone cabin is where the ACJ TwoTwenty really shines.

With two extra cabin zones for additional privacy, you can work in a true office environment with best-in-class connectivity or unwind and revitalize with a California King bed, ensuite bathroom with rain shower, and two 55-inch 4K TVs.

Even with twice the cabin space of ultra-long-range business jets (ULR), the ACJ TwoTwenty has lower operating costs due to reduced maintenance and training costs.

Powered by Pratt & Whitney engines, the ACJ TwoTwenty is a leader in fuel-efficient aviation technology. The engines are 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, VP Commercial ACJ 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 nautical miles (more than 12 flight hours), the ACJ TwoTwenty can meet the requirements of 99.9 per cent of all U.S. departures, connecting city pairs including Los Angeles to London, Miami to Buenos Aires, and New York to Istanbul.

ACJ offers a range of large business aircraft with the latest generation technology and efficiency. As with all ACJ aircraft, the ACJ TwoTwenty is capable of flying with up to a 50 per cent blend of kerosene and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) while keeping to the technical specifications of Jet A.

All Airbus commercial aircraft and helicopters will be capable of operating with 100 per cent SAF by 2030. This capability will play an important role in the sector’s decarbonization journey.

More than 200 Airbus corporate jets are in service worldwide, flying on every continent, including Antarctica.
