FAI Adds Maiden ACJ319

GERMAN PRIVATE aviation firm FAI rent-a-jet has added an Airbus ACJ319 to its fleet. The aircraft, which has been registered D-AXTI (c/n 1256), is currently undergoing an extensive cabin upgrade and will be available for lease and ad-hoc charter shortly. The jet is configured in a 29-seat VIP layout, featuring a bathroom with shower. It also boasts state-of-theart communications and inflight entertainment technology, including high-speed connectivity and wireless iPad controls.

“While there is plenty of supply in the charter market up to 19 passengers, we have something very unique in this class with our 29-seat layout. The ACJ will be excellent for corporate shuttles, groups, music and sports tours. This aircraft became available recently (it was previously under bank ownership) and we are delighted to add it to our growing fleet and move into a new market ourselves”, commented Siegfried Axtmann, FAI’s Chairman.

It is anticipated it will be maintained by FAI’s MRO subsidiary, FAI Technik. The ACJ319 will join FAI’s fleet of 25 aircraft based at its headquarters in Nuremberg, Germany.
