ACJC delivers two ACJ319 cabins

Specialists in Airbus Corporate Jet VIP cabin completions, Airbus Corporate Jet Centre (ACJC), has delivered two more cabins (its 25th and 26th).

Both Airbus ACJ319s feature a similar cabin layout, but with different decoration. Each is certificated to seat 30 passengers, with the 83 m2 of floorspace being divided into three main zones, an executive lounge, a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom, and an area with an office and support staff seating.

The outfitting of both ACJ319s was managed by Aviation Link of Saudi Arabia. “Both aircraft are turnkey projects in which Aviation Link has managed the acquisition, the interior design, completion management and eventual operation of the aircraft,” said Aviation Link, President and CEO Abdulaziz Al Rowaished. “Airbus Corporate Jet Centre has provided two aircraft with exceptional interiors of a very high standard and our customers, which demand the best, are very satisfied” he added.

Aviation Link manages and operates one of the largest privately owned fleets of Airbus aircraft in the world.

“It was great to have the challenge of completing two similar aircraft with different themes and color schemes, and having demanding customers helps to keep us striving for the very best,” said ACJC Managing Director Benoit Defforge. “Customers expect ACJC to help give wings to their lifestyles, while reflecting their tastes and preferences, and we strive to deliver that.”

Each Airbus ACJ319 has a wide, executive lounge, featuring club-four seating and an inlaid dining table, surrounded by a divan and two more leather seats.

The Airbus ACJ cabin also features a mood-lighting system, new touch-screen technology, and HD passenger entertainment & communications – including a passenger flight information system, internet, audio & video on demand (AVOD) and Satellite TV. Four cameras underneath the aircraft, plus one in the tail, give the client a 360-degree field of view on his or her smartphone, wherever they are in the cabin.
