Undisclosed customer takes delivery of Lufthansa ACJ319neo

The neo is a seriously capable aircraft.

Lufthansa Technik has delivered an Airbus ACJ319neo following VIP cabin completion to a private undisclosed customer. the delivery also marks a significant milestone in VIP aviation connectivity development: The aircraft, completed at Lufthansa Technik's base in Hamburg in Germany, is one of the first VIP completions worldwide to be delivered with the latest technology Gogo Galileo LEO (Low-Earth-Orbit) satellite internet connectivity solution utilising the Eutelsat OneWeb network.

The VIP cabin showcases the finest bespoke cabin design produced by Lufthansa Technik's VIP cabin completion centre. It provides the highest comfort for passengers with a very quiet cabin. Additionally, the humidified and ionised cabin air supports the wellbeing of the passengers. The materials used are of the finest quality, using inter alia real marblestone selected by the client. Thanks to its vast experience, Lufthansa Technik incorporated this material, which is not that common in aircraft cabin design, combining durability and lightness to perfectly suit the owner's preferences.

“This delivery represents a landmark achievement in our commitment to comfort in the air as well as technological innovation for VIP and special aircraft completions,” says Michael von Puttkamer, senior vice president, VIP and special aircraft services of Lufthansa Technik. “By being one of the first to deliver such comfortable aircraft equipped with the Gogo Galileo system, we are setting new benchmarks in the onboard connectivity user experience. This pioneering installation demonstrates our ability to integrate cutting-edge technology that transforms the passenger experience.”

The aircraft features an advanced Gogo Galileo system including cabin Wifi installed by Lufthansa Technik, providing very fast and reliable internet on board. Unlike traditional systems using far-away geostationary satellites, this system connects to OneWeb's Low-Earth-Orbit satellites, which are much closer to the aircraft.

Because of this shorter distance, the connection offers higher speed, lower delay and more stable performance. Passengers can enjoy smooth video calls, real-time data use and uninterrupted online services anywhere in the world. The large number of LEO satellites also increases reliability, ensuring continuous connectivity throughout the flight.
