PRIVATE AIR NEW YORK Private jet travel thrived throughout 2021, helping private travelers navigate the challenges of business aviation in COVID's "new normal." As a result, the gross revenue of aviation charter and sales companies has dramatically increased. Several innovations are taking place in the market to elevate travelers' safety and comfort levels. In this issue, we touch on two leading examples with Airbus Corporate Jets and Dassault Falcon 10X Rev4. Size matters when you are up in the air poring over corporate reports or taking a brief nap after meetings in New York en route to Dallas. Luxury jet interiors tend to fall into two distinct styles: understated elegance or audacious opulence. Recently, however, Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) partnered with renowned contemporary artist Cyril Kongo to create a special-edition cabin for the ACJ TwoTwenty that introduces a new artful interior vision. e jet has a spacious 785-square-feet of floor space and is the only business jet to have six VIP living areas for up to 19 passengers. e Dassault Falcon 10X Rev4 has a cabin height of 2.03m, currently the tallest in the industry, and a cabin size that is almost 20cm wider than the next largest cabin. Owners can use this extra space to customize more generous sleeping and showering spaces or install bespoke entertainment and lounge areas in their aircraft.
