Airbus Corporate Jets, a business unit of Airbus SAS and part of the Airbus Group has launched ACJ330neo, a private jet version of its new A330neo, which combines new-generation engines and aerodynamic and other enhancements to deliver even more comfort, effectiveness and true “nonstop to the world” range.
The ACJ330neo will fly 25 passengers 9,400 nm/17,400 km or 20 hours, enough to fly nonstop from Europe to Australia. It can easily accommodate conference/dining areas, a private office, bedroom, bathroom and guest seating, and can be fully customised to suit customer requirements.
“For customers, such as countries needing to fly heads of state and delegations worldwide on government business, the ACJ330neo offers an unbeatable combination of modern design, proven capability and productivity, as well as being part of the world’s best-selling widebody family,” declares Airbus chief operating officer, customers, John Leahy.
Other new features include the option of an onboard airport navigation system (OANS), similar to GPS in cars, and a runway overrun prevention system (ROPS), for which insurance companies offer cheap premiums.
Like all Airbus aircraft, the ACJ330 features Category 3B autoland and other features as standard and, like all Airbus aircraft in production, it has a common cockpit, on which more than 100,000 pilots are already qualified.
The ACJ330 also has optional twin head-up displays (HUDs) and, in common with the rest of the family, inherits an exceptional reliability from its airliner roots.
