Magnifica Air has unveiled the first aircraft in its planned fleet – an ACJ321neo presented in the airline’s livery. The aircraft will now enter its interior completion phase – scheduled to take 10 months – to be fitted with a bespoke ‘Private Class’ configuration.
The aircraft is the first of four aircraft that will be configured exclusively in the Private Class cabin category for launch service – planned for 2027.
Magnifica Air previously announced plans for a fleet combining A220 and A321neo aircraft, each configured for approximately 54 passengers. The airline has confirmed South Florida to New York as its inaugural route. Comlux was announced as the cabin outfitter for six A220 and two A321 aircraft in October 2025.
Private Class is designed to sit between traditional first class and private aviation, intended to offer “the privacy of private aviation with the safety standards and operational scale of commercial flight”.
The ACJ321neo is powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW1133 geared turbofan engines, which are compatible with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Kevin Ketterer, VP of technical operations at Magnifica Air, said: “The arrival of our first ACJ321neo is a defining operational milestone. It enables the launch of our maintenance and reliability programmes, integrating predictive technologies and dedicated support services designed to deliver the level of consistency expected from a new cabin category.”
Wade Black, co-founder and CEO, said: “Private Class is not a product enhancement. It is a new cabin category built around how people want to travel today. Bringing our first aircraft into the fleet is a tangible step toward delivering that standard at scale.”
