Troops and vips to use Czech Republic's ACJs
The Czech Republic has taken delivery of the first of two Airbus Corporate Jetliners (ACJs). They will have the dual role of transporting troops in day-to-day operations and serving as a vip transport. The ACJ can seat more than 90 passengers but has a quick change vip kit. Airbus ceo (customers) John Leahy says: "The versatility means that the Czech government is effectively getting two aircraft in one with a modern fuel-efficient design." Total Airbus ACJ family sales stand at around 80 aircraft.
