The European manufactuer will be presenting its modern and eco-efficient corporate aircraft, the Airbus ACJ320, at this year’s show which takes place at the Sakhir Airbase from Thursday (19-21 January).

A Comlux operated Airbus ACJ320, which has the widest and tallest cabin of any corporate jet, will be accessible in the static display area for the duration of the show.  This will be the second time Airbus participates in the show.  

Derived from the world’s most modern single-aisle aircraft family, the Airbus ACJ318, ACJ319 offers cabins that are approximately twice as wide as traditional business jets. All three have the range to fly inter-continentally, as well as nonstop within continents. The Airbus ACJ320 typically offers seating for 19 to 50 passengers, depending on customer requirements.  

Airbus has had a permanent commercial office in the region since 2000. In 2006, Airbus established a substantive permanent commercial presence, opening the Airbus Middle East subsidiary in the Dubai Airport Free Zone. The subsidiary covers all the commercial aspects for the region – sales, marketing and contracts as well as the Airbus Corporate Jet commercial team and permanent representatives from Airbus’ Customer Support team.
