Toulouse,
14th August 2020 - Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) has won the first A321LR
order for two aircraft from Lufthansa Technik, highlighting the market appeal
and versatility of the A320neo Family. The aircraft will be multi-role capable
and can be equipped for various types of missions, such as troop transport,
different MedEvac role setups (medical evacuation) and will be operated by the
German Air Force (Luftwaffe). Lufthansa Technik has now placed a total order of
five Airbus aircraft on behalf of the German Government: three ACJ350-900s and
two A321LRs. The A321LRs will be able to fly up to 163 passengers, up to 6
intensive care patients and up to 12 medium care patients, depending on the
installed configuration, with a maximum range of 4,200nm/7,800km or 9.5 flight
hours.
“We
are thrilled Lufthansa Technik has become the launch customer for the ACJ
long-range version of the world’s best-selling A321neo,” said Benoit Defforge,
ACJ President. “The ACJ320 Family features the widest cabin of any single-aisle
aircraft in the sky, providing the greatest passenger comfort and
intercontinental range. Lufthansa Technik and the German Government have a
long-standing relationship with Airbus and we are proud of this new milestone
order with us.”
The
A321LR is a member of the A320neo Family with over 7,400 orders by more than
110 customers. It delivers 30 per cent fuel savings and nearly 50 per cent
reduction in noise footprint compared to previous generation competitor
aircraft. With a range of up to 4,000nm (7,400km), with 206 passengers, the
A321LR is the unrivalled long-range route opener, featuring true transatlantic
capability and premium wide-body comfort in a single-aisle aircraft cabin.
Featuring
the most spacious cabins of any business jet, while being similar in size to
competing large-cabin aircraft, the ACJ320neo Family also delivers similar
operating costs. The ACJ320neo Family can do this because its lower maintenance
and training overheads – part of its airliner heritage – deliver a similar
total cost when combined with fuel and navigation and landing charges.
Some
12,000 Airbus aircraft are in service worldwide, supported by a globe-spanning
network of spares and training centres, giving corporate jet customers
unmatched support in the field. Airbus corporate jet customers also benefit
from services tailored to their particular needs, such as the “one call handles
all” corporate jet customer care centre (C4you), and customised maintenance
programmes.
Combined
with the inherent reliability that comes from aircraft designed to fly many
times a day, the ACJ320neo Family is both dependable and available when
customers need it.
Airbus
corporate jets are part of the world’s most modern aircraft family, which
delivers, as standard, features which either cost more, or are unavailable, in
competitors. These features include the protection and simplicity of
fly-by-wire controls, the benefits of Category 3B autoland, and time and
cost-saving centralised maintenance on all systems.
Around
200 Airbus corporate jets are in service on every continent, including
Antarctica, highlighting their versatility in challenging environments.
