An Airbus ACJ318, the corporate jet version of
the A318 airliner, will be the highlight of the company’s presence at
the ABACE show, marking the first time that any of the company’s bizjets
is exhibited in Shanghai.
The
Airbus ACJ318 on display is operated by Abu Dhabi-based Al Jaber
Aviation, which offers it for VVIP charters in a spacious and
comfortable arrangement with seating for 19.
“When
companies, individuals and governments use corporate jets, such as the
Airbus ACJ318, they empower their leaders to accomplish more, helping
them to bring home new business, safeguard jobs, and contribute to
overall economic growth,” points out Airbus COO, Customers, John Leahy.
“With the widest and tallest cabin of any bizjet, Airbus corporate jets
can also carry larger groups than traditional business jets,” he adds.
Airbus’
ACJ318 is similar in size externally to traditional large-bizjets, but
has a cabin that is about twice as wide, delivering new standards in
comfort, space, and freedom of movement.
It
features lounge-style seating for passengers in several different
zones, as well as an office with ensuite bathroom, which can be
converted into a bedroom. The
Airbus corporate jet on display at ABACE in Shanghai thus gives
potential customers the chance to experience for themselves the best
business jet cabin in the world. Airbus
corporate jets are derived from the world’s most modern aircraft
family, and offer the broadest range of sizes and ranges of any bizjet
manufacturer, including VIP widebodies.
They
have won some 170 orders since Airbus delivered its first corporate jet
in the mid-Eighties, and are the only bizjets flying on every
continent, including Antarctica. Airbus
corporate jets have a widespread presence in Asia-Pacific, and
especially China, which is one of the largest and fastest growing
markets for business jets.
