Airbus ACJ Series Corporate Jets for Sale — When an Airliner Becomes Your Office
The Airbus Corporate Jet (ACJ) series represents the ultimate expression of wide-body comfort in executive aviation — taking the proven technology, reliability, and passenger acceptance of Airbus commercial airliners and transforming them into private and corporate aircraft that offer cabin volumes, range, and passenger carrying capacity impossible in purpose-built business jets. When Airbus launched the ACJ program in 1997, it created an entirely new category of ultra-long-range corporate transport that has since attracted heads of state, royalty, sovereign wealth funds, billionaire entrepreneurs, and major corporations who require both the ultimate in airborne comfort and the transcontinental range to connect any two points on Earth.
The ACJ Family
- ACJ318 — The smallest ACJ, based on the A318 short-haul airliner. With a cabin of approximately 28 meters in length and room for typically 8–12 passengers in ultra-luxury configuration, the ACJ318 offers the most intimate Airbus cabin experience combined with impressive range of approximately 7,200 nautical miles with additional fuel tanks.
- ACJ319 — Based on the A319, with a longer cabin than the ACJ318 offering more flexibility for multi-zone interior design. Typical range of approximately 6,750 nautical miles. The most popular ACJ variant with over 70 examples delivered to date.
- ACJ320 — Based on the A320 with the largest cabin in the ACJ single-aisle family. Offers outstanding flexibility for full multi-room interior configurations including permanent bedrooms, bathrooms with showers, conference rooms, and dining areas.
- ACJ330 and ACJ340 — Wide-body variants based on the twin and four-engine long-haul airliners, offering genuinely airliner-scale cabin volumes for the most ambitious private aviation configurations. These are rare acquisitions for the most resource-rich buyers with the most demanding requirements.
- ACJ TwoTwenty — The newest ACJ variant, based on the A220 (formerly Bombardier C Series), offering a modern narrowbody platform with long range and exceptional fuel efficiency.
Interior Possibilities — Unlimited Canvas
The ACJ's greatest asset is the interior designer's freedom its fuselage cross-section provides. Where purpose-built business jets — even the largest — impose meaningful constraints on what can be designed into the cabin, the ACJ's commercial airliner fuselage provides a canvas that can accommodate permanent master suites with queen or king beds, full bathrooms with stand-up showers, formal dining rooms seating eight or more, boardrooms with video conferencing, dedicated crew rest areas, and entertainment lounges — all simultaneously, in a single aircraft. The world's leading VIP completion centers — Comlux, AMAC Aerospace, Jet Aviation, and others — have developed extraordinary ACJ interior programs that turn these airframes into airborne estates.
Acquisition and Operation
ACJ acquisition is a major capital transaction requiring specialized expertise. Beyond the aircraft purchase price — which for pre-owned examples ranges from tens of millions to over $100 million depending on model and interior — operating costs include crew salaries for typically four flight deck crew members and cabin crew, fuel consumption significantly higher than purpose-built business jets, heavy maintenance events, avionics updates, and the cost of interior refurbishment that most buyers undertake upon acquisition. ACJ operation is typically supported by dedicated aircraft management companies with specific ACJ experience.
