Comlux America, in collaboration with its subsidiary DOA21, has received an FAA supplemental type certificate (STC) for the <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2024-05-29/acj-twotwenty-combines-space-and-range">Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty</a> cabin. This follows EASA permissions received for the type in 2023.
This latest certification builds on previous approvals the Indianapolis-based company has received from the U.S. regulator. In 2024, Comlux received an FAA STC for a Boeing BBJ Max 8 cabin.
Customers can now acquire the ACJ TwoTwenty cabin from Comlux America and register the aircraft under the FAA registry. “While no ACJ TwoTwenty to date is on the U.S. register, today marks the biggest step forward in ensuring when this comes, it will be a timely, straightforward process,” said Comlux America CEO Adam White.
Based on the Airbus A220-100 narrowbody airliner, the ACJ TwoTwenty can seat up to 18 passengers across six interior zones. Comlux has an exclusive contract with Airbus to complete and redeliver the first 15 units.
