A luxury private jet has been unveiled with an interior so glamorous it looks more like an apartment than an airplane. 

The ACJ320neo is a modified Airbus jet and was unveiled on Monday by Acropolis Aviation. It is far larger than the usual type of luxury jets such as those made by Gulfstream or Bombardier. 

The $110 million plane comes complete with a master bedroom and en-suite bathroom – said to be the largest ever featured on an Airbus aircraft. 

The aircraft features a lounge, dining area, a full-sized kitchen and a private master bedroom leading to a luxury en-suite with the largest shower ‘ever to be installed in an Airbus single-aisle aircraft’

The narrowbody twin aircraft can accommodate 19 passengers and allows sleeping for 17

There is enough space on board to sleep 17 people and seat 19. 

Its counterpart, the Airbus A320neo was only recently unveiled to commercial airlines and was snapped up thanks to its lower operating costs and better fuel efficiency allowing it to fly up to 6,000 miles on a single tank.

It allows for non-stop travel between far flung places such as New York and Tokyo, London and Seattle, or Los Angeles and Auckland. 

British Airways, Scandinavian Airlines, and Lufthansa all operate the plane commercially, but now it appears the aircraft is ideal for those looking for something different in the private jet sector. 

The aircraft which is being marketed as an Airbus Corporate Jet uses the same shell as the A320 but has new engines and sharklet wingtips which allow for better fuel consumption and additional range.

A320neo aircraft can fly 6,000 miles is the latest model to be released by Airbus for the VIP market

Acropolis Aviation which is a UK charter operator received the first Airbus ACJ320neo last year at the factory in Toulouse, France.

It was then flown to Switzerland to have its ultra-luxurious interior cabin fitted, a process that took 13 months. 

The cabin has been designed by Yves Pickardt of Alberto Pinto Interior Design. 

‘We are absolutely delighted with the high quality of workmanship that has gone into the creation of the plane  since it arrived green in January 2019,’ says Acropolis chief executive Jonathan Bousfield. 

‘It’s something something very special, which will set new standards of comfort and well-being within the VIP charter market, fully utilizing the cabin space.’
