Comlux America will complete the VIP cabin outfitting of six Airbus A220 aircraft and two Airbus A321s destined for Magnifica Air's upcoming ‘private-jet meets first class’ airline.

Aiming to create a new category in aviation with a launch targeted for 2027, Magnifica Air is planning to offer a hybrid solution between first class commercial and private jet travel, delivered with the consistency and scale of commercial airlines. It aims to open with a fleet of Airbus A220-300 and A321neo aircraft that will carry just 45-54 passengers, with up to four private suites on each.

Under the agreement, Comlux will handle the full cabin completion of six A220 and two A321 (plus additional options), including structure, systems, interiors, connectivity and bespoke features. These aircraft will be integrated into Magnifica Air’s inaugural fleet.

The programme is designed to combine the performance and economics of the A220 airframe with VIP-level cabins and service.

Comlux already has deep experience with the Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty programme. It is the exclusive completion partner of Airbus for the first 17 ACJ TwoTwentys and has already successfully delivered multiple completed cabins. While not part of the ACJ TwoTwenty exclusivity, this deal validates the performance and strong future of the airframe.

Magnifica Air plans to base operations in specially configured VIP terminals and use smaller, more exclusive gateways to reduce crowding and enhance the passenger experience.

Comlux America CEO Adam White says: “This deal not only strengthens Comlux’s existing backlog of completion projects, but it validates the strategic positioning and transition we have been undergoing over the past few years. In addition to the 17 exclusive cabins on the ACJ TwoTwenty, it demands the same consistent, reliable, quality interiors inside the newest commercially viable airframes, expanding all of the benefits of a private charter or ownership to a wider customer base. This collaboration marks a significant step toward a new future in premium air travel and we couldn’t be more excited.”

Wade Black, CEO of Magnifica Air, adds: “In aviation, what people remember most is how you made them feel. That’s why we’ve chosen to partner with Comlux, the best in the business when it comes to exceptional outfitting. This partnership represents a global handshake grounded in our shared dedication to craftsmanship and excellence.”

The deal strengthens Comlux’s backlog of completion work and positions its Indianapolis facility as a hub for high-end narrow body outfitting. For Magnifica Air, it ensures tight control over interior quality, customisation and integrated connectivity, enabling consistency across its fleet.

The move also underscores a growing trend that leverages business jet platforms to deliver a premium passenger experience at scale. Both airlines and OEMs increasingly recognise the demand for differentiated private jet-level service within the scheduled airline space.

Comlux will begin cabin outfitting immediately upon aircraft deliveries, and Magnifica Air will progressively certify and deploy the aircraft into service, aligned with its planned 2027 launch.
