Geneva-headquartered Global Jet has added a Paris Le Bourget-based Airbus ACJ318 Elite to its charter fleet, having seen considerable demand for VIP large cabin types, especially in the Middle East. “This ACJ is an excellent product that can fly for more than nine hours,” says the operator. “Its baggage load is a critical point for any client that wishes to travel with a large amount of suitcases at maximum passenger capacity.”

The newcomer will be the fourth Airbus offered for charter although Global Jet manages a further four units for private clients. “We have an extensive knowledge in managing VVIP airliners and our crews are qualified far beyond the required standards, guaranteeing maximum safety and unrivalled high-end service on board,” the company says.

The aircraft is capable of transporting up to 19 passengers and 80 suitcases from Dubai to London or from Paris to New York non-stop. The cabin has been designed with a separate bedroom and a spacious bathroom, as well as eight beds.
