Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) is continuing to enhance its presence in the U.S. by expanding the company’s team in different departments, visibility around the country’s aviation market, and sales and marketing efforts for the corporate jets the company manufactures and sells throughout the country. Additionally, on the ACJ Service Center Network side, Comlux Completion in Indianapolis is extending its capabilities within the ACJ Service Center Network and is becoming an approved Service Center MRO for the ACJ Two Twenty. Its capabilities include all maintenance-related activities, cabin refurbishing and cabin/system upgrades, giving ACJ Two Twenty customers/operators a facility in the U.S. they can rely on.
According to ACJ, in the U.S., there is a need for around 1,200 business jets due to be replaced or for growth which includes around 100 bizliner aircraft and 1,100 bizjets. Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) is a business unit of Airbus SAS and part of Airbus that markets and completes corporate jet variants from the parent company’s airliner range. Currently, more than 210 Airbus corporate jets are in service around the globe, flying on every continent, including Antarctica.
“The goal for ACJ is to penetrate the U.S. market with its latest new-generation corporate jet aircraft, the ACJ TwoTwenty, which was launched at the end of 2020,” said Sean McGeough, VP Commercial for North America, ACJ. “We strongly believe that the ACJ TwoTwenty is a game changer as it is a new value proposition to business aviation buyers. The innovative solution combines intercontinental range and up to three times more personal space, thus providing more comfort for each passenger and at a similar price tag as ULR bizjets but with a much lower operating cost,” he further added.
The ACJ Two Twenty was launched at the end of 2020 and will enter into service beginning in 2023. Airbus has a long-standing relationship with the U.S. that goes back some 40 years. With 2,000 commercial aircraft in service in the U.S., ACJ’s activity has grown from fewer than a dozen people in 1978 to more than 4,000 employees in a network of 38 locations in 16 states. Airbus has spent more than $220 billion in the U.S. since 1990, supporting more than 275,000 American jobs, and utilizes ~2,000 U.S. suppliers in some 40 states.
