Lufthansa Technik: Extra-long distance flight of a BBJ2 operated by ACM AIR CHARTER

A BBJ 2, completed and delivered by Lufthansa Technik at the
beginning of 2014, has recently made an extra-long distance flight
from Rio de Janeiro / Brazil to Frankfurt / Germany.

The aircraft, operated by ACM AIR CHARTER in Baden-Baden/ Germany for
a private customer, flew the 5139.1 nautical miles (9523.9 km)
distance non-stop with 6 passengers on board. The flight time was
12:02 hours.

Thomas Minninger, Managing Director of ACM AIR CHARTER, said: “We are
really impressed by the performance of this BBJ2. The range of the
aircraft and the high-class cabin interior which guarantees a
well-being for all passengers especially on long-haul flights,
clearly prove, that the completion experts from Lufthansa Technik
have done a great job. It is a pure pleasure to fly with this
aircraft.”

The ultra-modern cabin design for the BBJ2 was created by a renowned
international design bureau in London. It has been range-optimized by
using lightweight elements and consequent design principles, e.g. by
considering the ideal center of gravity.

Despite the fact that design and engineering were focused on weight
reduction and range, the cabin interior of the BBJ2 contains several
innovation highlights, like a steam shower, an open cooking
opportunity, an air humidification system and lower cabin altitude.

Additionally, the aircraft is equipped with Lufthansa Technik’s state-of-the-art nice® inflight
entertainment & cabin management system, including GSM connectivity
and live-TV. The nice® system can be completely controlled via
personal devices like the iPad or iPhone. To achieve a real cinema
feeling, the BBJ 2 is the first B737 equipped with a 65 inch HD
monitor on board.
