The world’s largest private jet, the dual-level Boeing BBJ 747-8 jumbo, is fit for a king - literally. In fact, the Qatari royal family currently have one up for sale if you’re in the market. Used primarily by heads of state to travel the globe, it is the pinnacle of elite VIP air travel.
Less like an aircraft, more like a palace, up to 5,179 sq ft awaits you onboard. One unnamed owner employed the skills of Parisian design agency Cabinet Alberto Pinto, who created an award winning Art Deco-inspired interior complete with bedrooms, private salon, multiple lounging areas, an office and conference area.
Its size isn’t a hindrance when it comes to range as this jumbo jet is capable of carrying 100 passengers an impressive 8,875 nm.
