One Look Inside The World’s Largest Private Jet Will Absolutely Drop Your…

The 747-8i Boeing Business Jet is the world’s largest private jet that is currently in use. This aircraft is a dual-level jumbo jet that takes private flying to the next level by providing the absolute pinnacle of luxury air travel while traversing time zones with ease.

The Boeing Business Jet product line consists of VIP-configured variants of existing commercial passenger aircraft. The BBJ variant is available for each Boeing aircraft currently in production, ranging from the smallest Boeing 737 to the largest 747.

While owning a private jet is a sign of wealth, the 747-8i BBJ is an unmistakable status symbol usually reserved for use by the world’s governments and a few of the highest levels of the elite. The aircraft has been successful in the Middle East, with countries like Qatar, Kuwait, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates using the 747-8i for executive transport for their respective heads of state.

In the Americas, the US Air Force is currently developing a 747-8i BBJ to replace the current Air Force One for use by the President of the United States. The Air Force is one of the largest operators of Boeing Business Jets, using them for military transportation of the country’s top officials.

Cabinet Alberto Pinto, the renowned French interior design firm, was tasked with designing the interior of a BBJ 747-8i purchased for private use by a wealthy Middle Eastern businessman. This project is the largest aircraft ever taken on by the firm.

The Boeing 747-8i, designed by Cabinet Alberto Pinto, is over 250 feet long from nose to tail, with two levels and a passenger capacity of over 400 in airline configuration. Once inside, it’s difficult to tell that you’re on board an airliner and not inside a palatial estate with all the luxury trimmings.

The aircraft’s interior is divided into suites, staterooms, lounges, dining rooms, passenger seating areas, and bathrooms. It is a home away from home for a wealthy traveler. The master bedroom is located in the nose of the aircraft, directly under the cockpit, which is the most private and quiet section of the aircraft since it’s away from the engines.

The bedroom features a normal-sized bed, with the sidewalls lined with counter space with drawers for storage underneath. The nose of the aircraft is typically reserved for the first-class cabin, with seats 1A and 1B being the most sought-after. On this 747, those seats take the form of a two-person loveseat.

The suite has personal reading lamps, bedside tables, and walled cup holders for when turbulence hits. Lights throughout the aircraft can be controlled by small touchscreens embedded in various surfaces.

The master bathroom has a walk-in shower and a single vanity complete with a full mirror and sink. The shower is ideal for long-haul flights, allowing the owner to fly across the world and head straight from the plane to meetings. Very few commercial aircraft feature a shower, making it a key marketing point for Boeing and Airbus’ private jets.

According to designer Yves Pickardt in an interview with Altitudes Magazine, the idea was to give the aircraft a “soft modern style.”

In summary, the 747-8i Boeing Business Jet is the epitome of luxury air travel, reserved for the world’s elite and governments. With a personal touch on the interior from Cabinet Alberto Pinto, the aircraft provides a home-like experience for travelers, complete with private suites, bathrooms, and a shower. The 747-8i BBJ is a remarkable feat of engineering and design, providing the ultimate in luxury air travel.
