An Airbus A320 Prestige has joined the Fly Comlux fleet to start vip charter operations from a new Comlux base in Bahrain, dubbed Comlux Middle East. The A320 will join three A318 Elites and two ACJs, making Comlux the first vip charter group to operate all three Airbus types.

Andrea Zanetto, ceo, says "With six Airbus in the fleet, Comlux consolidates its position as the largest Airbus vip operator worldwide. Our new A320 Prestige offers an incredible cabin atmosphere with a unique style that nobody has seen before in business aviation. It has totally amazed our first vip passengers."

The aircraft's interior was designed by Comlux Creatives and features a vip lounge with L-shaped divan, two club seats and a large dining table for six guests. In the middle of the cabin a fully private compartment offers either a cosy lounge for the day or a large double bed for night. A dedicated bathroom with shower completes the private lounge.

Suitable for up to 19 passengers the cabin has been intentionally designed for the Middle East charter market; with designated business and economy class seats that allow the transport of an entourage.

The A320 is equipped with the latest technologies such as GSM, new touch screens, mood-lighting, wifi internet access and iPod/ iPhone stands.
