Airbus is here displaying an ACJ business jet (tail number G-NOAH) that recently started commercial operations with Farnborough, UK-based Acropolis Aviation. The bizliner’s luxurious 19-passenger cabin features lounges, a bedroom and a bathroom with a substantial shower. Acropolis Aviation is chartering G-NOAH for $15,000 to $18,000 per hour, depending on the length of the trip.
Yves Pickardt of Alberto Pinto International Interior Design designed the cabin. The Airbus Corporate Jet Center (ACJC) in Toulouse manufactured it. What appears original at first sight is the use of leather–not only on seats but also on parts of the walls and ceiling. Some areas of the cabin can be reconfigured, such as one club seating area that can accommodate an eight-person table for meals. The galley looks like a real kitchen and is U-shaped. The idea is to cook in flight, not simply reheat catered food in the oven. Moreover, the owner of the aircraft wanted to keep the possibility to use the kitchen.
