Description:

"China and Southeastern Asia are the fastest growing markets for our executive jets", says David Vellupilai, head of Airbus Corporate Jet. According to him, these markets have already surpassed the Middle East.

No wonder then that Airbus, a leading European aircraft manufacturer and a main competitor of Boeing, decided to present its ACJ318 plane at the Singapore Airshow. Registered with a Qatari user, this particular aircraft is richly equipped and serves both as a demonstration and as a business platform.

ACJ318, the smallest in the Airbus A320 family, is the only one that is not fully customisable. Beginning from the bigger ACJ319 up to the biggest executive jet produced, the ACJ380, the interiors of all are fully adaptable and subject to customers wishes.

Among the most popular features of the ACJ aircraft is an on-board bathroom with a shower, an office room converted into private bedroom and a business lounge.
