Gregory Polek has spent his entire career in aviation journalism with AIN, starting as a proofreader and assistant to then-managing editor Mary Mahoney in 1995 after serving an internship with&nbsp;New Jersey Monthly&nbsp;magazine and completing his B.A. degree in English/Writing at New Jersey’s William Paterson College. By 1997 Polek accepted a position as an associate editor, covering the regional airline beat for&nbsp;Aviation International News&nbsp;in place of retiring industry veteran Don Anderson. The assignment took Polek across North America and Europe to profile regional airlines varying in size and mission from the likes of floatplane operators Kenmore Air and Chalk’s Ocean Airways to regional jet operators such as SkyWest and American Eagle. Today, in his dual role as Air Transport Editor and International Airshow Editor, Polek writes, edits, and manages AIN’s commercial aviation content while overseeing each of the company’s daily international air show publications in Paris, Farnborough, Singapore, and Dubai. Most recently Polek has assumed oversight of daily coverage of the Helicopter Association International’s annual Heli-Expo convention.

Comlux’s completion center in Indianapolis has taken delivery of the third ACJ TwoTwenty from Airbus, the Zurich-based company said Thursday. The exclusive partner of Airbus for the ACJ TwoTwenty cabin, Comlux Completion expects delivery of the fourth aircraft, now under assembly, “in the near future.”
Airbus Corporate Jets partnered with Comlux on the TwoTwenty program in 2020, when the luxury jet specialist won the rights to design, certify, and install cabin interiors of the first 15&nbsp;jets.&nbsp;
The partners believe the market can absorb six TwoTwenty jets per year in the near term. While completions take roughly eight months, the production and certification method requires a dramatically different approach from that employed for one-off VIP interiors. Every part must carry airframe-specific identification (identical coffee makers, for example, cannot be swapped among aircraft), for which Comlux had to develop a new parts labeling process,
“After the first delivered ACJ TwoTwenty from our Completion Center in Indianapolis earlier this year, we are starting the ramp-up in our production to satisfy the customer demand for this fantastic product,” said Arnaud Martin, CEO of Comlux 2Twenty Ltd. “We target between four and six ACJ TwoTwenties in the coming years from Comlux Completion in Indianapolis.”
