A recent influx of billionaires from Russia, the Middle East, and China has led to a new focus on this part of the business. Since opening the private jet branch in 1997, Airbus has sold over 170 aircraft. Boeing got started in 1996, and has delivered on 195 of 217 total orders received.\r\n\r\nThe main reason to go with an Airbus A380 or a Boeing 747 over a puny Gulfstream or Bombardier? According to a \u201cBillionaires study\u201d commissioned by Airbus, the wealthiest among us like to travel with family members and business associates. (This, apparently, is particularly true for Middle Eastern oil magnates.)\r\n\r\nThat\u2019s not to say outfitting a jumbo jet for personal use is always a rational economic decision. For some, the bigger and more luxurious the plane, the better. That\u2019s why Airbus and Boeing don\u2019t just sell their planes, they offer a wide variety of customization options to give customers exactly what they want.\r\n\r\nSo how much does a personalized widebody plane cost? The manufacturers don\u2019t exactly publish price lists, but we\u2019ve seen figures between $80 million for a Boeing Business Jets (BBJ), $280 million for a Boeing 747-8 VIP, and up to $300 million for an A380 VIP\r\n\r\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The $65 million Gulfstream G650 may be the pinnacle of the private jet market, but it just doesn\u2019t do the job for billionaires who prefer to fly with more than a dozen or so passengers.\r\n\r\nFor that, the uber wealthy turn to Airbus and Boeing, who are more than happy to customize their jets, even the widebodies that can carry hundreds of people for private use.\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":18100,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[40,37],"tags":[142,138,143],"class_list":["post-2022","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured-news","category-private-aviation-news-update","tag-billionaires-jets","tag-customized-jets","tag-private-jet-price"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWhen the biggest is not big enough - Billionaires who want the best private jets — Private Jet Charter<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"When the biggest is not big enough - Billionaires who want the best private jets — Private Jet Charter\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The $65 million Gulfstream G650 may be the pinnacle of the private jet market, but it just doesn\u2019t do the job for billionaires who prefer to fly with more than a dozen or so passengers.
