Airbus Corporate Jets
When a Private Jet Is Simply Not Enough
"There are aircraft manufacturers. And then there is Gulfstream."
Airbus needs no introduction as a manufacturer. The European aerospace giant — headquartered in Toulouse, France and founded in 1970 — is one of only two companies in the world capable of producing the full spectrum of commercial airliners, from single-aisle narrowbodies to the A380 superjumbo. Less universally appreciated is the company’s parallel commitment to the private and VIP aviation market through its Airbus Corporate Jets division.
There is a tier of private aviation that exists beyond the reach of conventional business jets—where range is measured in continents rather than cities, cabin space in rooms rather than seats, and the aircraft itself becomes a statement of what is possible when engineering ambition and personal vision meet without compromise. That tier belongs to Airbus Corporate Jets. ACJ was established with a single, compelling insight: that the airliner platforms Airbus had developed for commercial aviation—widebody cabins, ultra-long-range fuel systems, advanced avionics, and Airbus’s signature fly-by-wire flight control technology—could be adapted for private ownership and charter in ways that no purpose-built business jet could approach. The result was a family of aircraft that offer cabin dimensions, range capabilities, and passenger comfort that the conventional business jet market simply cannot replicate.
At Arc Jet Club, ACJ aircraft represent the ultimate expression of what we do: arranging aviation experiences for clients whose expectations have no ceiling. Welcome to the complete guide.
Production, Build Times & What They Cost
ACJ aircraft are produced on Airbus’s commercial airliner production lines in Toulouse and Hamburg — meaning the build quality, production pace, and supply chain depth of one of the world’s two largest aerospace manufacturers stands behind every aircraft. Airbus delivers approximately 15–25 ACJ aircraft per year across all variants, reflecting the bespoke nature of each completion and the deliberate pace of the VIP market.
Build and completion times for new ACJ aircraft are the most extensive of any aircraft in this guide. The green aircraft — the basic airframe — is typically delivered from Airbus to the chosen completion center within 12 to 18 months of order. The completion itself — interior fit-out, systems integration, and finishing — adds a further 18 to 30 months depending on the complexity of the configuration. Total time from order to first flight in private configuration: 30 to 48 months is realistic for a fully bespoke ACJ. Clients who require earlier availability should discuss pre-owned and pre-completed options with Arc Jet Club’s acquisition team.
| Model | New Base Price (approx.) | Total with Completion | Pre-Owned Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACJ TwoTwenty | $80–$90 million | $100–$120 million | Limited availability |
| ACJ319neo | $90–$100 million | $115–$140 million | $60–$95 million |
| ACJ320neo | $100–$110 million | $130–$160 million | $70–$110 million |
| ACJ321neo | $110–$125 million | $145–$185 million | Limited availability |
| ACJ330neo | $175–$200 million | $225–$280 million | $130–$180 million |
| ACJ350 | $300–$350 million | $400–$500 million+ | Extremely rare |
Prices are indicative. Completion costs vary enormously by specification. Arc Jet Club’s acquisition team provides current, independent market valuations and completion center recommendations.
“ACJ acquisition requires a level of advisory expertise that goes well beyond conventional business jet purchase. Completion center selection, interior specification management, systems integration oversight, and crew and maintenance program establishment are all critical decisions that shape the ownership experience for decades. Arc Jet Club coordinates the full acquisition and completion process — from initial aircraft selection through delivery flight — for clients who want every detail managed to the same standard as the aircraft itself.”
The Full ACJ Fleet
ACJ TWOTWENTY
ACJ TwoTwenty — The New Benchmark in Accessible VIP Aviation
Range: 5,650 nm · Up to 18 passengers · Cabin: 72 ft long, 10.6 ft wide, 7.3 ft tall · Cruise: Mach 0.82. The ACJ TwoTwenty represents a generational shift in what entry-level ACJ ownership looks like. Based on Airbus’s most modern narrowbody platform, the TwoTwenty offers cabin dimensions — particularly its 10.6-foot width — that exceed every conventional business jet in production. The advanced Pratt & Whitney PW1500G geared turbofan engines deliver exceptional fuel efficiency, extending range to 5,650 nautical miles while significantly reducing operating costs relative to previous-generation ACJ platforms. For UHNW clients stepping up from the ultra-long-range business jet category and seeking a genuinely transformative cabin experience — the TwoTwenty is where that journey begins.ACJ NARROWBODY SERIES
ACJ320neo — The Most Popular ACJ in the World
Range: 6,000 nm · Up to 25 passengers · Cabin: 94.5 ft long, 12.1 ft wide, 7.5 ft tall · Cruise: Mach 0.82. The ACJ320neo is the aircraft against which every other narrowbody VIP jet is measured — and the platform that has served more heads of state, royal households, and sovereign institutions than any other in the ACJ family. Its 94.5-foot cabin enables completion schemes of genuine architectural ambition: master suites with full ensuite facilities, private offices, formal dining rooms, guest staterooms, and crew rest areas — all within a single aircraft. Six thousand nautical miles of range makes it one of the most capable global routing platforms available. The definitive ACJ for clients whose requirements span both long-range capability and cabin ambition.ACJ NARROWBODY SERIES
ACJ321neo — The Grand Narrowbody
Range: 5,650 nm · Up to 35 passengers · Cabin: 114 ft long, 12.1 ft wide, 7.5 ft tall · Cruise: Mach 0.82. The longest cabin in the ACJ narrowbody family — 114 feet of configurable space that places the 321neo in a category shared only by widebody aircraft. For clients who travel with extended families, large delegations, or simply want the maximum available private space in a narrowbody platform — the 321neo delivers something no conventional business jet can approach. Its combination of cabin scale, CFM LEAP or PW1100G efficiency, and Airbus’s fly-by-wire precision makes it one of the most extraordinary private aircraft ever produced.ACJ WIDEBODY SERIES
ACJ330neo — The Ultra-Long-Range Flying Estate
Range: 9,750 nm · Up to 50 passengers · Cabin: 148 ft long, 17.7 ft wide, 8.6 ft tall · Cruise: Mach 0.86. The ACJ330neo enters widebody territory — and with it, a cabin experience that has no parallel in private aviation outside of the 747 and A380 VIP conversions. A 17.7-foot cabin width that accommodates double-aisle layouts. 148 feet of configurable space. 9,750 nautical miles of range that connects any two city pairs on earth nonstop. Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines of extraordinary efficiency. The 330neo is the aircraft of sovereign wealth funds, royal households, and the very small number of private individuals whose aviation requirements match the scale of their ambitions. For those clients — it is the most capable production VIP aircraft available today.ACJ ULTRA-LONG-RANGE
ACJ350 — The Pinnacle of Private Aviation
Range: 10,800 nm · Up to 25 passengers in ultra-luxury configuration · Cabin: 158 ft long, 18.5 ft wide, 8.6 ft tall · Cruise: Mach 0.89. There is no private aircraft in production that surpasses the ACJ350. Built on Airbus’s most advanced widebody platform — the A350, which introduced composite construction at a scale previously unseen in commercial aviation — the ACJ350 offers 10,800 nautical miles of nonstop range, a cabin altitude maintained at just 6,000 feet for passenger wellbeing on ultra-long-haul sectors, and the most sophisticated fly-by-wire flight control system in the industry. In private configuration, the 158-foot, 18.5-foot-wide cabin is typically arranged as a complete flying palace — master bedroom suite, ensuite bathroom with shower, private office, formal dining room, guest staterooms, and a crew area that rivals a five-star hotel in its appointments. The ACJ350 is not simply the finest private aircraft available. It is the finest mobile environment — of any kind — that the world’s most accomplished engineering has yet produced. For the client who has considered every option and concluded that only the best will do — this is it.ACJ Fleet Comparison: Choosing Your Platform

The ACJ Completion: Where the Aircraft Becomes Your Aircraft
Acquiring an ACJ begins with selecting the platform. It is completed — in every sense — by the interior fit-out. This is the process by which a green aircraft is transformed into a private environment of extraordinary personal expression, and it is where the most significant decisions of the ownership journey are made.
The world’s leading ACJ completion centers — among them Lufthansa Technik, Jet Aviation Basel, and Comlux — employ interior designers, craftspeople, and systems engineers whose work defines the difference between an ACJ that merely impresses and one that endures. Materials are specified at a level of detail that rivals the finest residential architecture: bespoke joinery, hand-stitched leather, stone and wood veneers, custom lighting systems, and technology integration that manages entertainment, communications, and environmental control from a single interface.
Arc Jet Club advises ACJ acquisition clients on completion center selection, interior design briefs, and systems specification — ensuring that the aircraft that emerges from the completion process reflects the client’s vision with the same precision that Airbus applies to the airframe itself.
Why the World's Most Discerning ACJ Clients Choose Arc Jet Club
An ACJ is not a purchase. It is a decades-long commitment — to a platform, a completion philosophy, a crew, a maintenance program, and an operational standard that must perform without exception at 40,000 feet over the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The clients who entrust Arc Jet Club with that commitment do so because they have learned, through experience, that expertise at this level is not interchangeable.
There are advisors who have arranged business jet charters. There are brokers who have facilitated pre-owned transactions. And then there are the very few who understand the ACJ world at the depth it demands—those who know which completion centers deliver on their promises and which fall short, which pre-owned examples carry hidden operational liabilities and which represent genuine opportunity, and how to navigate the regulatory, logistical, and financial complexity of an acquisition that routinely exceeds $150 million in total cost. Arc Jet Club falls into that second category. Our team has spent 26 years building the relationships, the knowledge, and the track record that ACJ-level advisory requires.
We do not represent sellers. We do not earn referral fees from completion centers. We are independent — entirely and without exception — and our advice reflects that independence in every recommendation we make.
We guide every decision from platform selection through completion center appointment, interior specification, crew recruitment, maintenance program structure, and first revenue flight if desired. The ACJ acquisition journey spans years. We are with you for every one of them — available, informed, independent, and entirely committed to the outcome you deserve.
For ACJ clients, a dedicated senior Arc Jet Club advisor is assigned from first conversation through delivery and beyond. Every inquiry begins and ends in complete confidence. An NDA is available immediately upon request — though most of our clients at this level simply consider it understood.
