Unlike their smaller competitors, Airbus Corporate Jetliners can efficiently fly short-range, medium-haul and intercontinental routes with unbeatable comfort and excellent reliability. Their ability to make Category 3B automatic landings in the poorest visibility helps passengers to arrive at their destination, even in bad weather.

Airbus' ACJ Family was launched in 1997 with the ACJ, which typically accommodates 19 to 50 passengers. This version is in extensive use worldwide today, operating in VIP, corporate shuttle and government service roles.

Airbus’ longer-fuselage A320 Prestige has 100 square metres of cabin floor area, allowing for an infinite number of interior configurations – including the Airbus-designed Prestige cabin that provides a defined and certificated layout that accommodates 30 passengers in unparalleled comfort. With its excellent operating range, the A320 Prestige crosses continents and oceans with ease, flying above weather at the 41,000 ft. cruise ceiling altitude that is approved for all Airbus Corporate Jetliners.

The newest ACJ Family member is the A318 Elite, which offers greater levels of cabin comfort than currently available with competing business jets. As the smallest ACJ version, the A318 Elite is affordable alternative for customers whose needs can be fulfilled with a shorter cabin and less range, as well as an excellent entry-level corporate aircraft for new operators. Airbus has defined two cabin layouts for the A318 Elite that seat up to 14 and 18 passengers, with seats and settees clustered in several separate zones throughout the cabin.

The ACJ has the widest and most comfortable cabin, the most modern design, and retains the best value – at acquisition and operation costs that are similar to competing models.
