FAA certifies Airbus Corporate Jetliner
The Airbus Corporate Jetliner (ACJ) received FAA type certification on October 28.

The Airbus Corporate Jetliner (ACJ) received FAA type certification on October 28. The approval came just over three years after the large-cabin bizjet was certified by Europe’s Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) and clears the way for deliveries in the U.S.

Airbus has yet to go public on how many of the ACJ program’s total of 30 “commitments” are for U.S. customers. A company statement said the aircraft has now been cleared for both scheduled service and private operations. The aircraft had been due to enter service with United Airlines’ stillborn Avolar fractional-ownership program.
