“One of Airbus’s greatest strengths is to offer customers the world’s most modern and efficient aircraft family, and the ACJ350 with Easyfit expands its corporate jet offering, giving customers a new way to take their business to the world,” says Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers John Leahy. “Our customers want the best and most modern aircraft that money can buy, and the ACJ350 exemplifies that,” he adds.

Boeing’s competitor to the ACJ350 is the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) 787-9, which Matt Wollaston, VP of completion, sales and marketing at Boeing, represents the “next generation of carbon-fiber reinforced plastic.”

Airline deliveries of the Airbus A350-900 began in December 2014. Together with the A350-1000 version, currently in development and projected to enter airline service in 2017, the family has already won some 800 orders from more than 40 customers.
