Airbus Corporate Jets debuted its highly-anticipated ACJ TwoTwenty business plane on Monday.
The plane is marketed as an "Xtra Large Bizjet" thanks to its expansive capacity.

The private jet arm of European planemaker Airbus has unveiled the luxe cabin of its newest business plane — the ACJ TwoTwenty.

The reveal comes three years after Airbus Corporate Jets first announced the VIP aircraft, which the manufacturer is marketing as an "Xtra Large Bizjet."

The company created the new market segment to highlight the new business aircraft's impressive capacity, range, and operating costs — all while maintaining a competitive price point.

On Monday, the ACJ TwoTwenty made its public debut at the annual National Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition in Las Vegas.

The newly introduced business plane is the private jet version of Airbus’ A220 commercial airliner.

Compared to its airliner sister, the ACJ TwoTwenty boasts a much longer range at 6,500 miles — that's over 12 hours of nonstop flying.

This means the jet can operate intercontinental flights, like Los Angeles to London and New York to Istanbul.

The performance rivals that of many large purpose-built private planes like the Gulfstream G700 and the Bombardier Global 7500.

While the large business jets can fly further, they have less floor space to offer — giving the ACJ TwoTwenty a leg up on the competition.

Specifically, the 786-square-foot cabin offers up to three times more space compared to large business jets.

Despite its higher capacity, Airbus estimates the cost to operate the ACJ TwoTwenty to be less than that of large long-range private jets.

Buyers can expect to pay about $100 million for a finished ACJ TwoTwenty, the Business Jet Traveler reported.

Its luxe cabins will reflect the high price tag, with options to include an office, a master ensuite bedroom with a shower, and giant flatscreen TVs.
