The ACJ318 Elite is the smallest of the Airbus line of private jets, yet offers the same capabilities as the larger ACJ319 and ACJ320 variants and shares the same efficient wing optimized for short-field takeoff and landing performance; in fact, the ACJ318 is one of just a few private aircraft approved to fly the steep approach necessary to land at London City Airport. Seating for up to 40 passengers is available in corporate configurations, while a standard configuration for 14-19 allows for a private office, bedroom, or meeting space, all in the widest fuselage available in the large-cabin jet segment.
The Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) created the VIP airliner category. In 1999, Boeing unveiled the BBJ2, a stretched version of the private jet based on the 737-800 airframe. Outfitted with three to seven auxiliary fuel tanks in the belly, the BBJ2 has a slightly reduced range from its predecessor but still easily handles New York-Tokyo, and London-Johannesburg routes. Moreover, the BBJ2 is considerably roomier than its predecessor, with a cabin almost 20 feet longer, offering 25 percent more cabin space and double the BBJ’s baggage capacity. Aviation Partners’ blended winglets, which became an option for BBJs in 2000, are standard
In 1996 the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) introduced the world to the very concept of a VIP airliner, providing a robust platform with the space and payload of commercial aircraft as a canvas for creating the ultimate private jet.

The BBJ is powered by the same CFM56-7 engines found on

The newest variant, the ACJ320neo, is powered by efficient Pratt & Whitney PurePower PW1100G-JM or CFM International LEAP-1A turbofans, and includes the fresh design of the company’s Melody cabin concept featuring flowing lines inspired by the curves of nature, along with an emphasis on creating a high-quality sound environment.
Enthusiastic market response to rival Boeing’s BBJ line of private jets led European manufacturer Airbus to introduce its own Airbus Corporate Jet family in 1997, led by the ACJ319. Based on the popular and capable A319 medium-range airliner, the ACJ variant includes removable auxiliary fuel tanks mounted in the lower cargo compartment that give the ACJ319 a range of 6,000 nm, roughly twice the endurance of the commercial aircraft. Inside, luxurious accommodations may include seating for up to 50 passengers, or club lounge seating for 20-25 and a private office that converts into a bedroom. The newly-available A319neo (for New
