Spreading a large Baltimore group across several jets means several schedules to manage, and a VIP airliner keeps everyone on one aircraft, with your advisor checking which types suit the route.
Airbus introduced the ACJ321 in 2013. It seats 19 to 25 with a published range of 4,200 nautical miles and a cruise of Mach 0.78 (~470 knots). The aircraft has a service ceiling of 40,000 feet and an enclosed lavatory.

Why the Airbus ACJ321 Fits Baltimore
With 4,200 nautical miles of published range, it can fly between Baltimore and destinations such as Nassau, St. Maarten and Paris, allowing for reserves and routing. Summer weekends to the Eastern Shore and Ocean City book up early, so tell us your dates as soon as they are set.
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 ACJ321
Teams, delegations and large wedding parties are the usual reasons Baltimore groups ask us for an airliner. Part 135 is the FAA’s set of rules for on-demand, for-hire charter. When your total passenger count outgrows a heavy jet and the group consists of more than nineteen passengers, the aircraft required would fall into regional airliner, or airliner-size. These trips would no longer fall under the FAR Part 135 standards but possibly operate under FAR Part 121 or foreign equivalent standards. Part 121 and equivalent generally carry stricter crew and operating requirements than FAR Part 91 and FAR Part 135.
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:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- 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.
