Comlux orders its fourth Airbus type
Comlux has signed a commitment for an Airbus ACJ321, the first ever placed with Airbus for the type.

Comlux has signed a commitment for an Airbus ACJ321, the first ever placed with Airbus for the type. It will join a fleet that already includes A318 Elites, ACJ319 and A320 Prestige models, making the Swiss-based company the first to operate all four narrow-body Airbus business jets.

"The ACJ321 will enable us to offer our passengers even more of the comfort and space that are the hallmarks of the Airbus corporate jet family, while delivering the highest standards in service on-board," says Comlux ceo Richard Gaona.

The ACJ321 will have more floor space and baggage capacity than the other Airbus models, and will be outfitted by Comlux America. It will be powered by CFM International CFM56-5B engines.

Comlux has Swiss, Maltese and Kazakhstan AOCs, and commercial offices in Zurich, Moscow, Almaty and Bahrain, and employs over 500 people. It has 18 aircraft in its fleet, 13 of which are available for charter.

Airbus says that its corporate models are the only business jets flying on every continent, including Antarctica.

Meanwhile, the Comlux Indianapolis-based maintenance division has appointed Tony Bailey as its chief executive officer. Bailey began his career in aviation in 1983 when he joined the United States Marine Corps as an aircraft electrician on F-4 Phantoms, and joined Comlux Aviation Services in January as vp operations.
