Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) have announced a new collaboration with contemporary French artist Cyril Kongo AKA Mr Colorful to help enhance its private jet cabins. The ACJ TwoTwenty special edition cabin sees the large business jet transformed into a contemporary art gallery complete with some of Kongo's iconic accents to help enhance the experience. The main lounge will be partly painted by Kongo himself and also incorporates a series of carefully chosen accouterments to maximize effect in the small space.
The special edition cabin design will be observed on the first 15 of the aircraft models that will delivered to Comlux this winter. The ACJ TwoTwenty is expected to enter service in 2023 and will offer space for up to 19 passengers.
