Some Baltimore groups are simply too big for a business jet, such as a team, a convention delegation or a wedding party, and a VIP airliner lets them fly together.
Airbus introduced the ACJ320 in 2002. It seats 19 to 25 with a published range of 4,300 nautical miles and a cruise of Mach 0.78 (~448 knots). The aircraft has a service ceiling of 41,000 feet, 1,000 cubic feet of baggage volume and an enclosed lavatory.

Why the Airbus ACJ320 Fits Baltimore
With 4,300 nautical miles of published range, it can fly between Baltimore and destinations such as Dallas, St. Maarten and Paris, allowing for reserves and routing. Late May is one of the busiest stretches of the year in Baltimore, with the Preakness and the Naval Academy’s Commissioning Week, so call early for those dates.
BWI Marshall, run by the Maryland Aviation Administration, handles aircraft of this size, and the operator works out the fuel, the routing and the airport you land at. Runway needs are calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm them with the operator before the trip is booked.
How Baltimore Clients Use the Airbus ACJ320
Few airliners are free for charter on any given date, and late May and the holidays take many of them, so large Baltimore groups should start the conversation early.
Share the route, how many are flying and how much they are bringing, and your advisor will say whether this type is the right fit or suggest one that is.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:

- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
