Subject: $485 Miliion The Worlds Largest Plane...The Airbus A380 Custom Built Aircraft - update
Interesting update on the private A380 aircraft – even the Saudi’s don’t have bottom less pockets
Thanks Keith
The deal on the aircraft might have gone sour …… it was one of the test aircraft from the initial flying program. It has spent the best part of a year in the hangers being converted from a test aircraft to a standard aircraft. It was then towed out of the hangers the engines were removed and it remains parked at TLS with all the logos painted over. Apparently LH in HAM are due to undertake the conversion to VIP fit if it ever goes ahead ….. in the mean time he will have to make do with his B747-400
Imagine the perfect flying experience - no queues, a reclining seat.. Add four-poster beds, a Turkish bath for four,
and somewhere to put the Rolls-Royce - not to mention a boardroom with holographic screens and a concert hall…
A super jumbo designed to order, for a Middle Eastern Prince…
When completed, the converted Airbus A380 will be the world's largest private jet.
Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud spent $485 million on the custom Airbus A380, with interiors and
amenities designed by British firm 'Design'.
The plane usually seats 600, but lots of room had to be cleared for various perks.
Naturally, there's an on-board garage, so that the prince can be driven right to the threshold of the airplane's elevator.
After arrival, he can retire to his master suite. One of five with king-size beds, and computer generated prayer mats
which always face Mecca.
Upto 20 extra-guests have to make do in sleepers, that are the equivalent of first class train compartments.
Not to forget that there is also a concert hall that seats ten, and has a baby grand piano; a boardroom with a
holographic projector; and a full-size steam room
But The most entertaining perk is a "Well Being Room" which has a floor upon which is projected an enormous image of what
the plane is flying over--thus creating a "Magic Carpet" effect.
