Germany's DC Aviation is chartering three managed A319s. "This gives us a total of four ACJs for charter," says ceo Steffen Fries. "Starting now we can offer larger groups extremely comfortable travel alternatives to destinations such as Beijing, South Africa or New York."

Fries points out that the additions significantly expand the long haul capability already offered by DC Aviation's Challenger 604s, Legacy 600s, Global Expresses, Gulfstreams 550s and the company-owned, 48-seat Airbus.

He adds: "In the Middle East along with Europe, there is demand for charter flights with these exclusive vvip aircraft. We are receiving requests for charter flights from private individuals as well as large corporations. The A319s offer a level of comfort on long-haul flights that is simply unbeatable." DC Aviation served as lead adviser and supervisor in the remodelling and delivery of each of the three A319s. "The services provided by the company ranged from defining the specifications to technical inspections during manufacture as well as final delivery and acceptance from Airbus.

DC Aviation then also supervised the interior completion of the aircraft," Fries adds. "Each has a unique solution and is tailormade for the respective customer."

Thierry Boutsen, owner and president of Boutsen Aviation, brought two of the A319s to DC Aviation. He says: "The interior designs of all three are custom incorporating lounges, bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, as well as bars and crew quarters."

Two have premium business class seating at the rear of the jet. In addition, individual seats and divans can be converted into extra beds on night flights.
