Airbus recently passed the 100 sales mark with its Airbus Corporate Jetliner (ACJ) family and is now achieving breakthrough sales with its new larger VIP transports. The European airframer also has sold its first double-decked A380 “Flying Palace” and clinched a second commitment for the A350XWB Prestige, based on the A350XWB-900 airliner.

Meanwhile, reacting to a serious bottleneck in its ACJ production process, Airbus (Booth No. 7442) has established a dedicated ACJ Center in Toulouse, France, to increase capacity for cabin interior completions. The manufacturer’s record total of 38 firm orders in 2007 comprise 31 ACJs (based on the A319 model) and seven VIP widebodies, including four Airbus A340s, two A330s and the first VIP A380. This compares to 20 ACJs and one VIP widebody ordered in 2006.
