Final assembly of the first Airbus Corporate Jets ACJ320neo is expected to begin next month, followed by green delivery to launch customer Acropolis Aviation of the UK in the fourth quarter. A second green ACJ320neo will also be handed over to its customer by year-end.

Orders for the ACJ320neo family, which includes the ACJ319neo, now total nine aircraft—six ACJ320neos and three ACJ319neos. Delivery of the first ACJ319neo, to launch customer K5 Aviation, is expected during the second quarter of 2019.

The ACJ319neo can seat up to eight passengers with a 6,750 nm range while the ACJ320neo can transport 25 passengers with a 6,000 nm range. ACJ president Benoit Defforge said, “New engines and Sharklets enable the ACJ320neo family to link even more of the world nonstop, in a large and comfortable cabin.”

There are more than 190 Airbus corporate jets in service worldwide and ACJ customers have access to Airbus Corporate Jets customer-care centers and authorized service center network. Airbus's VIP widebodies also include the ACJ330neo and ACJ350XWB.

Airbus Corporate Jets will highlight the ACJ320neo family next week at EBACE 2018 and will have two ACJ319s on display there.
