Airbus Corporate Jets is bringing the ACJ TwoTwenty back to this year's NBAA-BACE after the bizliner made its debut at the 2023 NBAA show. The company is targeting a new segment in the business aviation market the company has identified as "Xtra Large Bizjet," emphasizing the aircraft’s 786-sq-ft cabin that doubles traditional business jet space without sacrificing range.
The ACJ TwoTwenty is the business jet variant of the A220-100, a twin-engine airliner that can accommodate up to 135 passengers. In a VIP configuration, the aircraft features seating for up to 19 and a six-zone layout including everything from office space to a private bedroom with a California King bed and en suite bathroom.
Despite its size, Airbus said the ACJ TwoTwenty has a range of up to 5,650 nm and is designed for low operating costs. It is powered by Pratt & Whitney 1500G engines, which provide improved fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions. The aircraft can operate with a blend of up to 50% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), but Airbus has a goal for all of its aircraft to use 100% SAF by 2030.
