Comlux Orders Extra Airbus A320 Prestige

(November 17, 2008) -- Comlux Aviation, the VVIP charter division of Comlux The Aviation Group, has ordered a second A320 for its VVIP operation, consolidating its role as the largest operator of the Airbus ACJ Family.

The new Airbus A320 will help to meet demand from the important Middle East market, and complements an A318 Elite and an ACJ that are already operated on VVIP charters by Comlux. Comlux has now placed orders for a total of nine aircraft, comprising four A318 Elites, two Airbus ACJs, two A320 Prestiges and one A330-200 Prestige.

"We were one of the first to recognise the need for even more space and comfort than traditional business jets, and because the Airbus ACJ Family has the widest and tallest cabin in its class, we can offer a lot more than other charter companies," says the Head of Comlux Aviation's VVIP Charter Division Ettore Rodaro . "The outstanding reliability of our Airbus ACJ Family is another plus that our customers appreciate, and we can also offer them a lot of experience in managing their VIP Airbus aircraft," he adds.

"Comlux Aviation has built a well deserved reputation for top-class service, and we like to think that the Airbus ACJ Family cabin's elegant ambiance, spaciousness and ease of movement has been a contributory factor," says Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers, John Leahy. "We have a great product in the Airbus ACJ Family, and as operators such as Comlux make it more and more visible to customers, demand will continue to grow," he adds.
