Airbus has revealed that Dubai-based FIVE Holdings is the purchaser of the first ACJ TwoTwenty, through the Comlux Group in Switzerland.
Famed for its FIVE hotels on the Dubai Palm and Jumeirah Village Circle, the group is involved in real estate, hospitality, investments, and philanthropy.
Delivery of the green aircraft to the Comlux Completion Centre in Indianapolis will be in January 2022, with delivery of the finished aircraft the following year.
Comlux Aviation will operate the ACJ TwoTwenty commercially in partnership through an exclusive charter agreement under the Comlux AOC in Malta.
The aircraft, registered 9H-FIVE, will be known as Nine-Hotel-FIVE.
Richard Gaona, executive chairman and CEO, Comlux, said: “The all-new business jet, the ‘Nine-Hotel-FIVE’ will be available starting in early 2023 for FIVE’s guests, charters and demo flights. It will be based in DWC Dubai World Central airport, which is the ideal airport in the world to further grow and develop FIVE and Comlux businesses.
The FIVE ACJ TwoTwenty will be finished in the avant garde design, and will feature 16 seats, a dining table for eight passengers, a master suite with a king-sized bed and shower, electro-chromatic window shades and full LED lighting, a fully equipped kitchen, non-stop streaming high-speed connectivity, and two ultra-large 55 inches screens, with a flight time of up to 12 hours non-stop with a full crew on board.
