The ACJ319neo is the corporate version of Airbus's re-engined A319, and its selling point is the cabin cross-section: 3.7 metres wide and 2.3 metres high, bigger than any purpose-built business jet and taller than the ACJ TwoTwenty. With eight passengers, Airbus rates it at 6,750 nm.

The A319 corporate jet is not new to the Gulf. Qatar Executive runs an A319CJ, the neo's predecessor, alongside its Gulfstreams, and the type sits in the same tier of Gulf aviation as the BBJ: heads of state, ruling families and the largest groups. The neo keeps that cabin and adds engines that make Riyadh to New York realistic without a stop.

This page covers the route map, what a new or privately traded example costs, the checks that matter on an airliner airframe, and the ownership picture in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain.

ACJ319neo range on Gulf missions

The 6,750 nm figure assumes eight passengers and a full set of additional centre tanks; the first aircraft, delivered to Germany's K5 Aviation, carried five. A delegation layout with more seats flies less far, so we ask for the specific aircraft's mission data before calling any long leg nonstop. On the eight-passenger figure, this is the reach from the Gulf:

ACJ319neo price in 2026

Simple Flying reports a basic purchase price from $99,500,000 before the interior, and the equipped price recorded for 2023 was $107,500,000. Our working range as of 2026 is $99,500,000 to $107,500,000, indicative and confirmed per aircraft. A bespoke completion can take the final figure beyond that band.

Pre-owned ACJ319neos are rare, and those that change hands usually do so privately, without a public listing. That suits a sourcing desk: we find the aircraft, check records and title, arrange an independent pre-purchase inspection and close through escrow. Photos and the full specification of any individual aircraft come over WhatsApp once you ask.

Hourly costs for the neo are not published. Industry comparisons put the earlier ACJ319 in the same $8,000 to $12,000 per hour band as the Boeing BBJ; ask an operator for a neo-specific estimate before you budget.

What to inspect on an ACJ319neo

Two things set this aircraft apart from a purpose-built jet: the engine choice and the airliner maintenance program. The rest of the checklist follows from the completion.

  • Engine type, LEAP-1A or PW1100G, and the program status behind it, including any PW1100G inspection bulletins
  • How many additional centre tanks are fitted, since range depends on them
  • Completion provenance, approvals and refurbishment history
  • Heavy-check timing on the A319neo airframe
  • Cabin systems: satcom, galley, bedroom and shower plumbing, cabin management
  • Records from any government or head-of-state operation

Ownership in the Gulf: registers and tax

The national registers are GACA in Saudi Arabia (HZ-, under Part 47), the QCAA in Qatar (A7-), PACA in Oman (A4O-) and Civil Aviation Affairs in Bahrain (A9C-). Bizliners of this value often sit on offshore registers such as Cayman, Isle of Man, Aruba or San Marino, where financing and international maintenance recognition are simpler.

Import VAT is the line to model early. On $100,000,000, Saudi Arabia's 15% comes to $15,000,000; Bahrain's 10% to $10,000,000; Oman's 5% to $5,000,000. Qatar charges none as of September 2026. The GCC's 5% common tariff is generally understood not to apply to civil aircraft, but customs has to confirm it for your HS heading. For the full side-by-side with the TwoTwenty and the BBJ, see our bizliner guide.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an ACJ319neo cost?

A new ACJ319neo is reported from about $99.5 million before the interior, with an equipped price of $107.5 million recorded for 2023. A bespoke VIP completion can push the final figure higher. Every figure here is an indicative 2026 number, confirmed per aircraft.

Can the ACJ319neo fly Riyadh to New York nonstop?

The Riyadh to Teterboro leg measures about 5,660 nm on the great circle, and Airbus rates the ACJ319neo at 6,750 nm with eight passengers, so it can on published figures. A larger passenger load or strong winter headwinds cut that margin, so the operator should run the mission first.

What is the difference between the ACJ319neo and the ACJ TwoTwenty?

The ACJ319neo has the taller, wider cabin and far more range, 6,750 nm against 5,650 nm on Airbus figures. The TwoTwenty is built on the A220 and costs less, reported at $80 million to $100 million completed against roughly $99.5 million to $107.5 million for the neo.
