Comlux Brand Guidelines: A 2003 Swiss Group, Indianapolis Cabins & the ACJ TwoTwenty

A Swiss group named for comfort and luxury.

Comlux is a Swiss business aviation group whose name joins two words. The tagline on its website spells it out: “COMfort in ownership, LUXury in flight.” The group dates its start to 2003: in a release issued through PR Newswire on 6 February 2023, the company said it was celebrating its 20th year that year and described itself as headquartered in Switzerland. Its contact page today lists the holding company, Comlux Management AG, in Zurich, and Flightglobal called Comlux a “Zurich-based company” in May 2019.

The group is organised as a set of named divisions rather than as a single airline. Comlux Aviation runs VIP charter, group travel and aircraft management; Comlux Transaction buys, sells and searches for aircraft for clients; Comlux Services, presented on the website under the Comlux Tech name, offers technical, operational, crew and consulting work for owners; and Comlux Middle East & Africa provides services at Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai, according to the company’s contact page. The transaction team says its network of owners, manufacturers, operators and brokers has been built since 2008. The 2023 release named Richard Gaona as executive chairman and chief executive of Comlux.

English Wikipedia describes Comlux Aviation AG as a charter airline headquartered in Zurich and says the group flies commercially under four air operator certificates, in Malta, Aruba, Kazakhstan and San Marino. It describes Comlux Kazakhstan as a wholly owned subsidiary based in Almaty, and places the purchasing, selling and leasing team in Zurich. The aircraft on the company’s charter-fleet page in November 2026 carry Maltese, Aruban and Kazakh registrations. The website says the group has offices and operational bases across Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and the Americas.

Bizliners, Indianapolis cabins and the ACJ TwoTwenty.

Comlux’s charter fleet includes airliner-based jets. Its charter-fleet page, read in November 2026, lists eleven aircraft, among them a Boeing 767 and a Boeing 787 in VIP configuration, Airbus ACJ319 corporate jets and two ACJ TwoTwenty aircraft, alongside smaller Bombardier and Embraer business jets. The company groups the fleet as VIP bizliners, large and ultra-long-range jets, and midsize and light jets, and gives each aircraft its capacity, range and a downloadable brochure. English Wikipedia adds that Comlux has offered a VIP Boeing 767 for charter since September 2011, that it ordered two Boeing 737 MAX 8 business jets in early 2015, and that it announced an order for three ACJ320neo aircraft in February 2016.

The second leg of the business is cabin completion in the United States. Flightglobal reported in May 2019 that Comlux had run its Comlux Completion complex in Indianapolis since 2008, when it bought a small maintenance business that specialised in Bombardier Challengers, and that it later added hangars able to take Airbus and Boeing narrowbody and widebody jets. The same report described it as alone among the big European business aviation services groups in having a US interiors operation. English Wikipedia dates the opening of the new hangar at Indianapolis International Airport to the summer of 2012, the year the company’s own 2023 release gives for opening Comlux Completion.

The ACJ TwoTwenty is the programme the company puts at the front of its website. It is a business jet built on the Airbus A220-100 and developed with Airbus Corporate Jets; Comlux says it is the exclusive completion partner for the first 17 aircraft, with all completions handled by Comlux America in Indianapolis and more than 80 possible cabin layouts. The company says the aircraft can seat up to 18 passengers, depending on the layout chosen. On 20 February 2023, the company said in its PR Newswire release, it unveiled the first finished ACJ TwoTwenty cabin in Indianapolis for its owner, the Dubai hospitality group FIVE Hotels and Resorts. That aircraft, registered 9H-FIVE, now appears on the Comlux charter-fleet page.

How operators and FBOs present themselves.

Business aviation companies sell something most visitors will never see in person, so their websites lean on photography and lists. Operators show cabins and aircraft on the ramp, as the companies themselves choose to publish them, and they tend to organise fleet pages by aircraft type — a turboprop, a super-midsize jet, a large-cabin Gulfstream or Bombardier — rather than by destination. Gama Aviation’s charter pages, for example, name individual types from the Citation Mustang to the Gulfstream G550.

FBO networks, the private terminals and hangars that serve business aircraft at airports, present themselves through places. Their websites carry location maps and airport pages that list lounges, crew rest rooms, hangarage, fuel and meeting rooms, often with airport codes and opening hours. Hangars appear as much as aircraft do, because the building is the product: Gama, for one, publishes separate pages for its facilities at Glasgow, Jersey and Sharjah.

Membership and charter programmes are a third strand. Operators describe jet cards, memberships and fixed-rate schemes in their own terms — deposit levels, guaranteed availability, capped hourly rates — and trade titles such as Private Jet Card Comparisons track and compare them. VistaJet, XO and, before its sale in 2022, Jet Edge all built consumer offers around such programmes, and Jet Edge ran branded lounges at Van Nuys and Teterboro.

Ownership changes often. Investment firms, listed groups and larger operators buy and merge these businesses, and a brand can disappear into its parent’s name, as Jet Edge’s operators did when Vista formed Vista America in 2023. This guide records who founded each company, who owns it and how it presents itself, and marks clearly what rests only on the company’s own word.

A name built from two words.

The newest chapter is long-range business jets. Air Data News reported on 14 October 2025 that Bombardier had announced Comlux as the launch customer for the Global 8000, with delivery scheduled for 2026, and that Comlux already managed the operation of Global 7500 aircraft. The report said the aircraft would expand Comlux’s capacity to serve clients on ultra-long-haul routes.

The name is the identity’s first idea. The tagline explains where it comes from, and every division carries the same prefix — Comlux Aviation, Comlux Transaction, Comlux Services, Comlux America — so each part of the group is introduced in the same way. The charter-fleet page lets a visitor filter the aircraft by passenger capacity, by range in nautical miles and by range in hours before opening an individual aircraft page. The website pairs that naming system with aircraft pages organised by type and registration, a separate page for the ACJ TwoTwenty with its own questions and answers, and a newsroom and insights section for announcements.

For a design guide, Comlux shows how a compound name, a divisional naming system and a fleet listed aircraft by aircraft can carry a business that spans charter, sales and cabin work. Compare it with Global Jet, another Swiss-headquartered group that manages large aircraft and oversees their cabins, and with VistaJet. For this guide we use a night deep blue, a cabin ivory and a muted champagne with a modern sans, an unofficial interpretation; no product or logo is reproduced.
