The Airbus ACJ319 Corporate Jet is the most capable of the smaller Airbus Corporate Jet variants, reaching 5,900 nautical miles with a VIP interior of 8 to 19 seats, and for Mexico charter it is one of the few widebody-cross-section aircraft that can cover a Mexico to Europe leg nonstop. Its combination of range, cabin width, and Airbus Corporate Jet brand recognition makes it a frequent choice for heads of state and senior executives operating from Mexico.
Airbus built the ACJ319 on the A319 narrowbody airframe with additional fuel tanks to extend range from the A319’s standard 3,700 nautical miles to 5,900 nautical miles. Two CFM56 or IAE V2500 turbofans, a cruise near 448 knots up to 41,000 feet. Interior configurations range from ultra-sparse 8-seat VVIP layouts to 19-seat corporate configurations. Full specifications for the Airbus ACJ319 are published by Airbus Corporate Jets.

Why the Airbus ACJ319 Fits Mexico
Mexico City to London at 5,500 nautical miles is at the edge of the ACJ319’s range in typical VIP configurations; a light cabin in favorable conditions completes the nonstop. For the more common Mexico-to-US routes, 5,900 nautical miles is far more range than any domestic or North American leg needs. Toluca’s 8,460-foot elevation requires high-altitude performance planning; the 14,140-foot runway accommodates the ACJ319 with proper weight management.
The ACJ319 seats fewer passengers than the ACJ320 or A320 VIP while offering more range, which suits the principal who travels with a small team on long-range legs rather than a large group on shorter ones. The A319 fuselage cross-section is wider than any purpose-built business jet in this range class.
For Mexico diplomatic and government traffic, the ACJ319 is one of the standard government fleet types used by multiple Latin American states, which means operator familiarity with Mexican regulatory requirements is often built in.

- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.

Charter Pricing Reference
Industry hourly rates for the Airbus ACJ319 run $17,000 to $24,000 per hour as of 7/2026. Actual quotes vary by operator, routing, positioning, and date.
At $17,000 to $24,000 per hour, the ACJ319 prices above the ACJ318 for considerably more range, and on Mexico-to-Europe legs the range premium is what justifies the step-up.
