UK-based VVIP charter operator Acropolis Aviation has taken delivery of an Airbus ACJ320neo, G-KELT, following a 13-month-long interior completions project at AMAC Aerospace in Basel, Switzerland. Acropolis is the launch customer for the ACJ320neo. The interior design was overseen by Yves Pickardt of Alberto Pinto, a Paris-based interior-design firm.

Based at Acropolis’ Farnborough Airport facility, the narrowbody twin can accommodate 19 passengers and allows sleeping for 17. It also features a private master bedroom with an en suite bathroom and rectangular shower, a full-size galley, and an aircraft cabin air humidifier. Acropolis’ ACJ320neo is also outfitted with Collins Aerospace’s Venue cabin management system and Stage in-flight entertainment system, which allows movies and TV programs to be viewed on 19 individual iPads and four large TV screens. Wi-Fi internet is provided through Ka-band connectivity.

“We are absolutely delighted with the high quality of workmanship that has gone into the creation of G-KELT since it arrived green in January 2019,” said Acropolis Aviation CEO Jonathan Bousfield. “AMAC Aerospace has created something very special, which will set new standards of comfort and well-being within the VVIP charter market, fully utilizing the cabin space.”
