Comlux America announced on Monday that it has received a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) from the FAA for the Airbus ACJ220 cabin, in collaboration with DOA21, a subsidiary of the Comlux Group and a Design Organization Approval (DOA) holder.
DOA21 will now be allowed to certify the design modifications of Airbus ACJ220 aircraft cabins to FAA standards. Comlux America states that this will allow it to make the cabin available to clients throughout North America and register the aircraft under the FAA's N-number registry. Previously, the company certified the very first Boeing BBJ MAX 8 cabin under FAA oversight.
"The entire philosophy of the Airbus ACJ220 program has been to anticipate the customer's needs and offer a product ready to meet their expectations," said Comlux America CEO, Adam White. "While no ACJ220 to date is on the N register, today marks the biggest step forward in ensuring when this comes, it will be a timely, straightforward process."

The company states that the STC represents an important extension of Comlux America's certification capabilities and enables the company to offer approved modification solutions to a broader customer base. It will now be able to support the ACJ220 jet in North America and streamline project execution for clients in the region.
"As CEO of DOA21, I am immensely proud of the team's tenacity in obtaining this crucial approval from the FAA," said DOA21 CEO Peter Gaughan. "This marks yet another significant milestone for the DOA and the whole Comlux team and another first for the ACJ TwoTwenty type."
