Florida-based startup Magnifica Air plans to begin operations in 2027 with a premium scheduled airline model built around low-density Airbus A220-300 and A321neo aircraft. The company describes the concept as “Private Class,” positioning it between commercial first class and private aviation.
The initial fleet is set to include six A220-300s for medium-haul routes and two A321neos for longer services, with cabins configured for 45 to 54 passengers. Each aircraft will feature two to four fully enclosed private suites, lie-flat seating, and no overhead bins.
Magnifica Air plans to use private terminals and concierge-style airport handling, with arrival recommended about 30 minutes before departure. The airline also says checked luggage will be delivered within 10 to 15 minutes after arrival, with chauffeurs waiting at the terminal exit.
Planned routes include Miami, New York, Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, Dallas, and Houston, with seasonal services to Napa Valley and the Caribbean. The airline is also developing the Seven Club membership program, which offers priority access, fixed pricing on some routes, and invitations to curated events. Family membership starts at $14,950, while corporate membership starts at $29,950.
