With its 747-8 VIP turnkey offering, Boeing will provide a full-spectrum concierge service that includes aircraft acquisition, customized cabin interior design and build, delivery and comprehensive in-service support.
The world’s largest VIP airplane, the 747-8 features nearly 5,000 square feet of premium cabin space that can be designed and completed with oversight of a dedicated team under a single Boeing contract.
The Boeing 747-8 VIP can fly 75 passengers with a range of 8,500 nautical miles, providing nonstop connections from New York to Bangkok and Dubai to Los Angeles.
Joe Benson, president of Boeing Business Jets said: “The 747-8 continues to serve as a premier VIP and head of state aircraft and discerning customers are interested in continuing this tradition of excellence in private air travel.
“We’re thrilled to continue this legacy with the Boeing-backed 747-8 VIP ─ delivering a personalized and exceptional flying experience.”
Nearly 50 747-8s are in service today, including those used for business and government travel.
The 747-8 Intercontinental features advanced technologies from the 787 Dreamliner that reduce its noise footprint, fuel consumption and maintenance compared to earlier 747 models.
With a global service network of services, parts, engineering and maintenance support, Boeing will ensure the reliable operation of 747-8 VIP aircraft for decades to come.
