Airbus Industrie and International Aero Engines (IAE) have reached a business agreement which makes IAE the reference engine supplier for the ACJ. According to the agreement, IAE-powered ACJs will be proposed to private customers and corporations as a global package. The French Air Force has placed a firm order for two Airbus Corporate Jetliners which are slated for delivery in 2001 and 2002. The French Air Force is the second government organisation in Europe to select the ACJ – two are already in service with the Italian Air Force.
