Comlux Orders Tenth Airbus Corporate Jet

DUBAI — Comlux has ordered a third Airbus’ Corporate Jetliner or ACJ, taking its total orders for Airbus corporate jets to ten aircraft — 4 A318s, 3 Airbus ACJs, 2 A320 Prestiges and one A330-200 Prestige — and making it the largest Airbus ACJ Family customer.

Some of the aircraft are managed for private customers and some are used to provide VVIP charters — as will the newly ordered aircraft.

“With this acquisition, Fly Comlux confirms its leading position in the top-end charter business,” said Richard Gaona, President and CEO of Comlux Aviation Group. “The aircraft will be equipped with CFM International CFM56-5 engines, will be outfitted in our completion centre in Indianapolis with a cabin designed by Comlux Creatives, and confirms our global strategy to be a player in almost all business aviation sectors,” he added.

“Comlux is one of the largest providers of VVIP charters at the top end of the market, a sector that continues to have good demand today,” said Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers John Leahy. “Quality will always be in demand, and combining Comlux’s VVIP service with the space and comfort of Airbus corporate jets is a winning combination,” he added.

More than 160 Airbus corporate jets have been sold worldwide, comprising over 100 A318 Elites, ACJs and A320 Prestiges, plus around 50 VIP and government widebodies.
