Avro Business Jet
An extra dimension in executive travel
REGIONAL AIRCRAFT
Avro Business Jet
The Avro Business Jet (ABJ) brings a new
and much needed choice to the business
jet marketplace. This unique aircraft offers
an airliner size cabin for the price of a
small business jet. In addition, its unique
performance characteristics allows the ABJ
to access some of the most difficult and
remote airfields in the world, providing its
owners with complete flexibility and
independence.
No other business jet in its class can offer
the ABJ’s combination of cabin size,
operational capability and price.
Considering its airliner standards of quality
and design and the respected global
support capabilities of BAE Systems
Regional Aircraft and Honeywell, the ABJ
represents best value in the business jet
world today.
ABJ
Spacious
The ABJ offers exceptional cabin dimensions
and proportions that operators look for in
the business jet market. The airliner size
cabin has a volume over three times that
of current mid-size business jets and this
allows the installation of full size bespoke
interiors.
Comfort
The ABJ’s cabin proportions enable interior
designer’s full flexibility to create uniquely
comfortable environments that principals
and executive charter operators demand.
Through the division of the cabin into
discrete compartments, the ABJ offers the
perfect environment for a combination of
productive work, relaxation and entertaining.
Space, style, comfort
ABJ
Versatile
The large cabin of the ABJ translates into
virtually unlimited choices and flexibility in
interior configuration. Whether the aircraft
is intended for use in the private, corporate
or charter market the ABJ lends itself to all.
Due to the size of the cabin, it can easily
be customised using a combination or mix
BAe 146-300/Avro RJ100
of VIP, executive and economy compartments.
With forward and rear passenger doors,
service doors, galleys and toilets, a split
cabin configuration can genuinely be
achieved. Interchangeable zone modules
and seating can be designed, permitting
changes to the layout in order to
accommodate larger groups of guests or
BAe 146-200/Avro RJ85
changing business requirements.
The ABJ can also be fitted with a VIP Quick
Change kit comprising of a twin club 4, a
partition and curtains. This allows corporate
or charter operators the flexibility of being
able to readily create a VIP compartment
as and when required.

Choice
The ABJ concept is already proven, with
a significant number of aircraft already
converted from pre-owned Avro RJ or BAe
146 regional jets. In addition to interior
changes, updated avionics, in-flight
entertainment and protection systems can
also be incorporated. These changes can
be accomplished by a number of approved
maintenance and completion centres
worldwide. Internal cabin dimensions are
virtually identical between the Avro RJ and
BAe 146 and both aircraft are available in
three different fuselage lengths.
Availability
BAE Systems manages a large portfolio of
Avro RJ and BAe 146 aircraft that are
available for lease and for purchase. Using
its extensive network and re-marketing

standards of its most discerning
customers.

Performance
The aircraft’s unique performance
characteristics allow the ABJ to access
some of the most difficult and remote
airfields in the world bringing savings in
time and convenience. Whether your
destination is a regional business location,
downtown meeting or an exclusive
mountain vacation resort, the ABJ will take
you there. Added to this, with a range
potential of over 1,750 nm*, the ABJ
offers an unequalled performance package
providing complete operational flexibility.
Environment
The ability to access downtown and
regional airports is further enhanced by the
low environmental impact of the ABJ. Fully
compliant with all current noise and
emissions regulations and expected to
meet all known future requirements, the
ABJ will keep your arrival and departure
discreet and unobtrusive.
* Assumption: Avro RJ70, twenty passengers and long
range fuel tanks.
ABJ
Independence
Although fully compatible with the facilities
at major airports, the ABJ is equally at
home on remote and poorly equipped
airfields. The ABJ also has the capability to
operate from unpaved runways. An on-board
APU provides ground power, while waist
level baggage holds and optional integral
airstairs complete your independence from
ground equipment and handling services.
Security
The ABJ provides a self contained, secure
means of transportation. Its four engine
configuration, excellent low speed handling
characteristics and steep approach capability
offer enhanced levels of access to local
airfields, minimising your ground journey.
Additionally, in today’s sensitive security
environment, you and your aircraft can be
protected by BAE Systems Infra-red
Countermeasures (IRCM)* and some
in-service ABJs already have this equipment
installed.
* UK and US export controls may apply.

Designed to withstand the rigours of an
airline operating environment, the ABJ’s
unique operating performance coupled with

giants in the global aerospace industry, BAE
Systems Regional Aircraft and Honeywell,
so you can be assured of continuous world
class support.

corporate and head-of-state operators
around the world fly the ABJ, including BAE
Systems’ own Corporate Air Travel
