Magnifica Air unveils first of four aircraft

Magnifica Air has unveiled the first aircraft in its fleet, an Airbus Corporate Jet ACJ321neo, ahead of the airline’s planned launch in 2027.

Revealed at Orlando International Airport in Magnifica Air’s new livery, the ACJ321neo is the first of four aircraft in the fleet that will be configured exclusively for the airline’s “Private Class” cabin category for launch service. 

Designed to sit between traditional first class and private aviation, Magnifica new cabin category is positioned as an alternative that “blends the privacy of private aviation” with the “safety standards and operational scale” of commercial flight.

Kevin Ketterer, vice president 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 programs, integrating predictive technologies and dedicated support services designed to deliver the level of consistency expected from a new cabin category.”

Powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW1133 geared turbofan engines which are SAF compatible, the ACJ321neo offers a maximum range of approximately 6,100nm. The aircraft will now enter its interior completion phase, where it will be refitted over ten-months into Magnifica Air’s configuration.

For Magnifica Air’s team , the unveiling represents the transition from vision to physical fleet development.

Wade Black, co-founder and CEO, who spoke at CJI Miami 2025 on the panel WhatsApp in the skies – Jet sharing issues, 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.”

Magnifica Air has previously announced plans for a fleet of Airbus A220 and A321neo aircraft, each configured to carry approximately 54 guests.

Operations are expected to launch in 2027 with South Florida – New York as the inaugural route.
