During the Paris Air Show 2023 in Le Bourget Airport, Aviacionline had the opportunity to visit Qatar Executive’s Airbus A319 ACJ in static display. The aircraft was one of the two the company — a part of Qatar Airways Group — brought to the event, the other being its maiden Gulfstream G700.
Having been originally delivered to the State of Qatar’s executive jet fleet in 2001, according to data by Planespotters.net, A7-HHJ has only recently been transferred to Qatar Executive’s fleet.

Turning right after entering the aircraft, there is this relatively narrow aisle; the wall is cut short by the suite door.
The suite has a double bed, as well as a number of ammenities and a television set.
In the suite, there is also a sink and a mirror, which also count with minor amenities — there is no shower in this aircraft.
Leaving the suite, the ACJ then has a «dining room», with eight wider seats and two table sets. Here, meetings can take place during the flight, and the table can be extended for the meals.
The final (and largest) section of the cabin is composed of seats which one would normally see in a commercial aircraft. Overall, there are three rows in a 2-2 configuration for a total of 18 «regular» business class seats.
These seats may go lie-flat — and the amenities from the suite may also be provided. In terms of entertainment, iPads are also handed to passengers.
Also on display was this brochure of the ACJ. With a range of 3,000 nautical miles (according to Qatar Executive’s brochure), the aircraft can fly from Le Bourget to Doha nonstop.
The galley and the lavatory are perhaps the most normal parts of this modified Airbus A319.
Overall, Qatar Executive’s Airbus has a total capacity for 19 passengers (two seats in the back are used for crew rest).
