Fly FIVE NEXT LEVEL in aviation by FIVE HOTELS AND RESORTS

ACJ is already offering the CTT humidifier on the ACJ319/320neo fleet,since May 2022.

In 2019, Lufthansa Technik presented an equally exclusive and completely customizable VIP cabin concept for the Airbus A220 for other VIP completion target groups. Dubbed “SkyRetreat”, the interior was aimed at a much younger and private clientele. With individual cabin monuments in the style of a luxurious beach club or a yacht deck as well as an “observation lounge” to the cockpit, SkyRetreat brought a completely new sense of space to a private jet.

Lufthansa Technik Unveils a Special Mission Cabin Design for the ACJ TwoTwenty

Lufthansa Technik AG unveiled a first glimpse on the design for a government cabin based on the smallest Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) type. The design for the ACJ TwoTwenty is aimed specifically at government and military operators who, on the one hand, attach great importance to high functionality of the interior and, on the other hand, need to perform other specialized tasks with their aircraft. The best example of this is the MedEvac (Medical Evacuation) role, which is currently in particularly high demand. Just as for conventional delegation transport, Lufthansa Technik's interior also offers a highly customizable solution for this.

The design equips the ACJ TwoTwenty, for example, with divisible areas for working (2 passengers), conferencing (7 passengers) and even sleeping for political dignitaries, ensuring a high level of comfort and functionality as well as security and privacy. In addition, the standard configuration includes a large delegation area consisting of twelve Premium Economy Class and 20 Economy Class seats. Altogether, 41 passengers can travel in this configuration, significantly more than on conventional business jets at comparable prices.

In the MedEvac configuration, up to eight stretchers can be installed for transporting lightly and moderately injured/ill patients, or two new-generation Patient Transport Units (PTU NG) for intensive care patients. Mixed configurations with stretchers and PTU NGs are also possible. With the additional tanks of the ACJ variant, the Lufthansa Technik-equipped A220 configuration will provide a range of up to 5,650 nautical miles (10,460 kilometers).
