Bangkok--Nov 10--eTurboNews
Airbus' Corporate Jetliner (ACJ) Family has reached the milestone of 50 sales, highlighting its success in a diverse range of markets that include private companies, individuals, executive airlines and governments. The milestone was reached with the sale of four aircraft to an undisclosed customer earlier this year.
Launched in June 1997, when a business jet version of the A319 airliner became the Airbus Corporate Jetliner (ACJ), the first delivery took place at the end of 1999. In the past three years, the Airbus ACJ Family has achieved its goal of winning at least a half of top-of-the-line business jet sales - estimated at about 15 aircraft a year.
With nine deliveries scheduled this year, and eleven orders since the beginning of 2005, the Airbus ACJ is becoming more and more successful. "All of our approved cabin-outfitters have one or more aircraft in completion at the moment, confirming our capability to secure completion slots for our customers," says Airbus Vice President Executive and Private Aviation Richard Gaona.
In addition to the 50 sales achieved by the ACJ Family, customers continue to order and express interest in private versions of larger Airbus airliners, such as the A340-600, which won its first VIP sale earlier this year, and the double-deck A380.
