●ACJ●Comlux●FAA ACJ●FAA
Analysis
★★★ Comlux America received FAA STC for ACJ TwoTwenty cabin on April 8, achieving dual EASA + FAA certification. AviGo data shows only 4 ACJ TwoTwentys active globally (9H-220CJ / T7-828 / 9H-168OO / 9H-818TG), with 213 cumulative flight movements. Q1 2026 recorded 35 movements, growing exponentially month by month: January 2 → February 13 → March 20. Routes shifted from 2025's Kazakhstan-domestic focus (Astana ↔ Almaty) toward Singapore ↔ Jakarta (5 movements each way) and a new North America route (Indianapolis ↔ Dayton) in 2026. No US-registered aircraft yet; FAA STC opens the door to the North American market. Of the 9 customers globally, 7 converted from traditional large-cabin business jets, validating the 'narrowbody replaces wide-cabin' positioning.
