Ten A220 Aircraft Ordered as Premium Cabin Plans Take Shape
Magnifica Air has ordered 10 ACJ220-300 aircraft, while cabin layouts and the interior completion programme remain under development.

Magnifica Air is aiming between a roughly $1,000 domestic first-class ticket and a $20,000–$25,000 private-jet charter. Its proposed fare is two or three times first class, but around one-tenth the cost of a typical private jet.
The cabin has to justify that pricing. Airbus confirmed in November 2026 that Magnifica has placed a firm order for 10 ACJ220-300s, but the cabin design needed to deliver a convincing premium experience at scale is still to come.
Space Is the Starting Point
What will passengers actually notice?
Magnifica plans cabins accommodating approximately 45–54 guests per aircraft, according to Corporate Jet Investor’s coverage, updated in November 2026. That range needs careful reading. The reported 54 is the upper limit, not a configuration that Magnifica plans to use across every aircraft in the fleet.
The proposed interiors also dispense with overhead luggage bins, Aerospace Global News reported in October 2025. That opens up the visual field. Removing the bins promises a setting closer to a corporate cabin than a conventional airline interior, making space above the seat part of the luxury proposition.
The suite count remains unsettled. Corporate Jet Investor describes two suites on the A220-300, while ch-aviation’s November 2026 coverage reports one; that newer account may reflect an evolving specification, but the returned evidence doesn’t resolve the discrepancy.
The Completion Decision Matters
Magnifica plans an RFP for the newly ordered aircraft’s interiors, according to ch-aviation in November 2026. The purchasing decision still lies ahead. Who will turn the low-density layout into a coherent cabin?
Passengers have a practical stake here. Generous spacing can make a cabin feel airy, but privacy, finish quality and service execution will determine whether it earns comparison with private aviation.
The supplied evidence doesn’t establish confirmed specifications for lower cabin altitude and onboard humidification. Airbus’s announcement leaves another point unconfirmed. It doesn’t say the first A220-300 is already in production.
The order gives Magnifica scale. The completion programme must now turn that fleet commitment into cabins with a convincing private-cabin character for the passengers Magnifica hopes to attract.
