Airbus ACJ 319 Overview
The Airbus ACJ319 is the corporate jet derivative of the Airbus A319 airliner, developed by Airbus Corporate Jets in France. Positioned at the large-cabin, ultra-long-range end of the private aviation market, it is best suited to larger groups, corporate delegations, families, and organisations that need to cover intercontinental distances without a fuel stop, while retaining the space and comfort of an airliner-sized cabin. At Simply Jet, we recommend the ACJ319 to clients whose priority is space and range together, rather than one at the expense of the other.
Aircraft Features
Range and Efficiency
The ACJ319 offers a maximum range of 11,100 km (5,994 nmi), sufficient for non-stop routes between most major cities worldwide, including long transcontinental and intercontinental sectors. It cruises at approximately 871 km/h (470 kn), giving it a flight speed broadly in line with commercial airliners of similar size. This combination of range and cabin size makes it well suited to long-haul group travel, government and diplomatic transport, and charter routes where minimising stopovers is a priority.
Passenger Comfort and Layout
The cabin measures 24.01 m (78 ft 9 in) in length, 3.7 m (12 ft 2 in) in width, and 2.25 m (7 ft 5 in) in height, giving passengers a genuinely stand-up, walk-around space rather than the more confined cabins typical of smaller business jets. Seating typically accommodates up to 20 passengers, though exact capacity depends on configuration, as ACJ319 interiors are custom-fitted and may include private suites, meeting areas, or dedicated rest zones. Luggage capacity is 27.66 m³ (976 cu ft), comfortably covering the needs of a full group on a long-haul trip. As with passenger capacity, luggage space and cabin layout vary depending on the specific completion of the aircraft.
Cabin Storage and Amenities
Amenities vary depending on configuration, as each ACJ319 is fitted out to the requirements of its operator or owner. Typical features may include a galley or refreshment area, a lavatory, multiple seating and lounge zones, tables for dining or work, cabin storage, and power outlets throughout the cabin. Many completions also include Wi-Fi, entertainment systems, and adjustable cabin lighting, with cabin finishes generally reflecting a high standard of fit-out given the aircraft's positioning in the market.
Flight Operations and Safety
The ACJ319 shares its flight deck and systems architecture with the A319 airliner, including fly-by-wire controls, side-stick flight controls, and a glass cockpit with digital displays. Onboard navigation and flight management systems are supported by modern avionics suites, including weather radar and satellite-based navigation, which contribute to consistent operating efficiency and a manageable workload for pilots on long sectors. This shared heritage with the commercial fleet also means a well-established maintenance and support network worldwide.
ACJ 319 Certification
The ACJ319 is based on the Airbus A319, which entered commercial service in 1996. Airbus Corporate Jets introduced the corporate variant shortly afterwards, with the aircraft achieving both European and American certification, making it one of the few large-cabin business jets approved for public transport on both sides of the Atlantic. It has since become an established option in the VIP and government transport segment, with a track record built on the reliability of its commercial airliner platform. For charter operations, this certification history and shared support infrastructure translate into consistent availability and dependable long-term operation.
How much does it cost to charter a Airbus ACJ 319?
Prices to charter a VIP airliner generally start from around €27,000 per flight hour in low season and around €33,000 per flight hour in high season, depending on the aircraft type, cabin configuration, route and operational requirements. The final charter price depends on flight distance, aircraft availability, airport fees, passenger count, service level, fuel costs and positioning requirements.
Pricing is typically higher during peak travel periods, weekends, major events and high-demand months. VIP airliners are particularly suited for larger private groups, corporate delegations, sports teams, government travel, entertainment tours and high-profile journeys requiring enhanced privacy, space and onboard comfort.
