Comlux, a high-end air charter and aircraft services firm, has ordered its third Airbus Corporate Jetliner (ACJ). This brings its total number of orders for Airbus business jets to 10 and makes it the largest single customer for the Airbus ACJ family. In addition to the three ACJs, the company operates four A318s, two A320 Prestiges and an A330-200 Prestige. The Zurich, Switzerland-based Comlux, which manages some of the aircraft for private customers and uses others for charter, said that the newly ordered ACJs will feature CFM International CFM56-5 engines and cabin designs by its Comlux Creatives subsidiary.

The latest ACJ “will be outfitted in our completion centre in Indianapolis with a cabin designed by Comlux Creatives, and confirms our strategy to be a player in almost all business aviation sectors”, says Richard Gaona, chief executive of Comlux The Aviation Group.

“With this acquisition, Fly Comlux confirms its leading position in the top-end charter business,” says Richard Gaona, President and CEO of Comlux The Aviation Group. “The aircraft will be equipped with CFM International CFM56-5 engines, will be outfitted in our completion centre in Indianapolis with a cabin designed by Comlux Creatives, and confirms our global strategy to be a player in almost all business aviation sectors,” he adds.

“Comlux is one of the largest providers of VVIP charters at the top end of the market, a sector that continues to have good demand today,” comments Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers John Leahy. “Quality will always be in demand, and combining Comlux’s VVIP service with the space and comfort of Airbus corporate jets is a winning combination,” he adds.

Airbus’ ACJ Family – comprising the A318 Elite, ACJ and A320 Prestige – has the widest, tallest and nicest cabin in its class, delivering almost twice the cabin-width of even the largest traditional business jets from other manufacturers.
