An Airbus ACJ318, the corporate jet version of the A318 airliner, will be the highlight of the company's presence at the ABACE show, marking the first time that any of the company's bizjets is exhibited in Shanghai.

The Airbus ACJ318 on display is operated by Abu Dhabi-based Al Jaber Aviation, which offers it for VVIP charters in a spacious and comfortable arrangement with seating for 19.

"When companies, individuals and governments use corporate jets, such as the Airbus ACJ318, they empower their leaders to accomplish more, helping them to bring home new business, safeguard jobs, and contribute to overall economic growth," points out Airbus COO, Customers, John Leahy. "With the widest and tallest cabin of any bizjet, Airbus corporate jets can also carry larger groups than traditional business jets," he adds.

Airbus' ACJ318 is similar in size externally to traditional large-bizjets, but has a cabin that is about twice as wide, delivering new standards in comfort, space, and freedom of movement.

It features lounge-style seating for passengers in several different zones, as well as an office with ensuite bathroom, which can be converted into a bedroom.

The Airbus corporate jet on display at ABACE in Shanghai thus gives potential customers the chance to experience for themselves the best business jet cabin in the world.
