Semi-private carrier Magnifica Air revealed its first aircraft at Florida’s Orlando International Airport (KMCO) earlier this month: an Airbus Corporate Jet ACJ321neo that will be configured for the start-up’s planned 2027 service launch. The long-range jet is the first of four aircraft Magnifica Air will operate in what it calls Private Class, a service category that falls somewhere between traditional first class and private aviation. Each aircraft will be configured to carry approximately 54 passengers.
The ACJ321neo, which offers a maximum range of approximately 6,100 nm, will now enter a 10-month interior completion phase.&nbsp;Magnifica Air co-founder and CEO Wade Black said the carrier is delivering “a new cabin category built around how people want to travel today.”
“The arrival of our first ACJ321neo is a defining operational milestone,” said Kevin Ketterer, v-p of technical operations at Magnifica Air. “It enables the launch of our maintenance and reliability programs, integrating predictive technologies and dedicated support services designed to deliver the level of consistency expected from a new cabin category.”
At NBAA-BACE in October, the company <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/air-transport/2025-10-14/magnifica-air-turns-comlux-vip-airbuses">disclosed plans</a> for a fleet combining Airbus A220s and A321neos. Operations are scheduled to begin in 2027, with service between South Florida and New York.
