Enhanced offer for ACJ318

The new variant will include options such as fuel-saving Sharklets, a shower and a cinema lounge.

But as yet the company has announced no plans to add a Neo version of the ACJ.

“We’ve always had a culture of innovation at Airbus,” points out Airbus chief operating officer, customers, John Leahy, “and the Airbus ACJ318 Enhanced cabin and efficiency improvements will help us to deliver even more value to customers - as well as giving the aircraft a fresher feel on the inside and a more lively look on the outside.”

New features that are standard on the Airbus ACJ318 Enhanced include domed ceilings and window-shades throughout the cabin, which provide a more comfortable feel and ambiance, new linings allowing a better integration of overhead lights and air supply outlets, and light-emitting diode (LED) illumination throughout.

Others include a wider choice of seats, including a new one with more comfortable curves and a more stylish shape, high-definition (HD) in-flight entertainment  with Blu-ray player, state-of-the-art displays and HDMI interfaces for external equipment, and a new passenger information system.
