Zurich-based Nomad Aviation has added an Airbus A319ACJ VIP to its fleet and also added it to the company’s Swiss air operator certificate (AOC).

The Airbus Corporate Jets A319 is fitted with extra fuel tanks enabling it to fly for up to 10 hours. Seating is available for up to 19 passengers, and the cabin includes a dedicated master bedroom with queen-size bed and a full en-suite bathroom including shower. The 24-meter (78-foot)-long cabin features dining, meeting, and lounge areas and a fully-equipped forward galley. The cabin incorporates mood lighting, DVD player, Apple TV, multiple flat-screen HD displays, Rockwell Collins Airshow moving map, and Inmarsat Ka-band high-speed connectivity.

“We are delighted to add this magnificent Airbus to our fleet as it represents the ultimate in space, range, utility, and productivity and ideally complements our existing charter aircraft,” said Thomas Köhl, CEO of Nomad Aviation. “We were able to fully incorporate the aircraft into our Swiss AOC within just four weeks,” he added.

Nomad offers aircraft charter, management, and maintenance services, and the fleet it operates includes various aircraft types, such as the Cessna Citation CJ1+ and CJ2+, Embraer Legacy 600 and 650, Bombardier Challenger 604, CRJ100, and Global 5000, and Gulfstream G450 and G650, as well as the ACJ.
