Farnborough, UK-based air charter operator Acropolis Aviation announced here at EBACE that the interior of its new Airbus ACJ320neo will be designed by Alberto Pinto Design (APD), and the project’s first renderings are on view at Acropolis’ display (Booth I089). The new aircraft will have 19 seats, a private master bedroom with luxury en-suite bathroom, and a large galley outfitted like a terrestrial kitchen.

France-based APD also designed the interior of Acropolis’ flagship G-NOAH, an ACJ319, which entered service in 2010. G-NOAH’s “versatile” 19-passenger cabin features an open plan forward lounge and intimate rear lounge, separated by a mid-cabin conference and dining room. The private master bedroom features a king size bed, en-suite bathroom, and a large, rectangular shower, the first installed in an ACJ.

Acropolis CEO Jonathan Bousfield called the selection of APD for the new project “a natural choice for us.” Acropolis’ clients include heads of state, high-net-worth individuals, and corporate and leisure clients. Blousfield said, “Choosing a design that reflects an evolution of our highly popular cabin will help us remain a market leader.” Bousfield said.

“We are delighted to have been chosen by Acropolis to work on their new ACJ320neo, and have the opportunity to create something really exceptional,” said Linda Pinto, the sister and longtime collaborator of the late Alberto Pinto. Yves Pickardt, who also styled G-NOAH, will head the design project.

Acropolis and APD will now meet with completion facilities and evaluate which will execute the project.
