Both Airbus VIP airliners we charter use the same cabin cross-section: 146 in wide and 88.6 in high, the largest figures in this category and shared exactly between them. Neither aircraft holds either dimension alone. Where the two part is length and reach — the 318 Elite runs 842 in against the ACJ 320neo's 1,069, and 4,200 nm against 6,000. It seats up to nineteen, with 749 cu ft of baggage, the second largest hold in the fleet. Production has ended.
That makes the 318 Elite the aircraft to specify when the party wants the Airbus cabin proportions without the ACJ's length or the sector to justify it. A group of nineteen in a cabin 146 in across is not seated so much as accommodated, and 749 cu ft behind them removes the luggage question entirely. Top speed is 447 kt, the lowest of the six VIP airliners, so this is not the aircraft to choose on pace. Our fleet data holds no verified takeoff or landing distance for the type, and this page offers none.
