There’s enough space for additional passengers or staff members flying on the jet, too
The jet’s owner gave designer Yves Pickardt “carte blanche” to make the airplane feel like a family home. Pickardt told Altitudes Magazine that his idea was to give the jet a “soft modern style.”
According to Pickardt, the owner wasn’t looking for something “outrageously luxurious, with gold and diamonds.” Instead, he wanted simplicity. “Which in the end is indeed the true luxury,” the designer said.
It took Cabinet Alberto Pinto a whole 4 years to design and implement this particular 747-8i’s interior, writes Business Insider. With 250 feet from nose to tail, this is the largest aircraft that the French firm has designed. It has two levels and over 400 people can fit inside the airplane if it were to be configured to transport airline passengers.
The businessman’s private jet has everything from suites and lounges to staterooms and dining rooms (not to mention bathrooms, of course). You can find the master bedroom in the nose of the jet, right beneath the cockpit. This makes sense because the front of the jet is the furthest away from the engines, so it’s way easier to fall asleep there than elsewhere.
This particular 747-8i has plenty of things that you won’t see on a regular Boeing airplane, like the 1A and 1B seats being replaced with a two-person loveseat. There are lots of small personal touches like personal reading lamps, bedside tables, and touchscreens that control the lights. Meanwhile, the master bathroom has a walk-in shower with a full mirror—when you’re inside, you can easily forget that you’re flying, instead of living in a luxurious estate.
747-800 is longer than A380 ;)
He never bought it from airbus. It’s still sitting in Toulouse, half taken apart.
Bernard,
There is no private VIP A380 in the world. Sorry.
They don't do alcohol . Just women.
