Buyers of airliner-size business jets, like this ACJ318, “are looking to take into the air the kind of space, comfort and elegance that they have in their homes and offices,” said Airbus Corporate Jets’ David Velupillai.
If you want to see the inside of a really big business jet–one that’s the size of an airliner–at the NBAA 2013 static display at Henderson Executive Airport, you may encounter a silk rope draped across the handrails at the bottom of the passenger stairs. A professionally attired man or woman standing by the rope will explain that the aircraft is being shown and then politely suggest, “Please come back later.” Later could take a long time.
