Comlux America has received certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its cabin design on the Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty, marking a significant step in expanding the aircraft’s availability in North America.
The Supplemental Type Certificate (STC), awarded in collaboration with DOA21, allows the company to certify cabin modifications in line with US regulatory standards, ensuring compliance with safety and airworthiness requirements.
The approval follows earlier certification from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), giving the programme dual regulatory clearance on both sides of the Atlantic.
This means customers can now acquire the ACJ TwoTwenty cabin through Comlux America and register the aircraft under the FAA’s US registry, broadening its commercial reach.
خطوة forward for North American market
The certification strengthens Comlux America’s position in the business aviation sector, particularly in serving North American clients seeking bespoke cabin completions.
Adam White, chief executive of Comlux America, said the approval represented a key milestone for the programme, noting that it would simplify future aircraft registrations in the United States.
Peter Gaughan, chief executive of DOA21, described the certification as a “significant milestone”, highlighting the effort involved in securing regulatory approval.
Expanding certification capabilities
The latest STC builds on Comlux America’s previous work under FAA oversight, including certification of a cabin for the Boeing BBJ MAX 8.
The company said the new approval enhances its ability to offer certified modification solutions to a wider customer base, while supporting aircraft registered under US jurisdiction and streamlining project delivery.
Comlux America, based in Indianapolis, provides aircraft cabin outfitting, completions and maintenance services to a global client base, including governments, corporations and private operators.
