AIRLINE FORCED TO FLY EMPTY AIRBUS A380 AIRCRAFT

After 24 years of loyal service farewell to World’s First Airbus A330

Ten COVID-19 Tests a Month, Salaries Unpaid, a 75% Pay-Cut: Real Story of a Pilot

The Qatari royals have quite a fleet of private jets, known as “Qatar Amiri Flight.” This fleet of over a dozen jets is owned by the government of Qatar, and is managed by Qatar Airways. These plans are exclusively used by the royal family, and other VIP government staff.

Well, if you have a few hundred millions dollars burning a hole in your pocket, here’s a cool way to potentially spend it.

The aircraft, registered A7-HBJ, is being sold with a mere 1069 total hours. Check out the ultra luxurious finishing of this plane.

Key Features

  • Five galleys (with elevator)
  • Two private en-suite bathrooms
  • Master bedroom, capable of being repurposed for medical evacuations
  • Grand central staircase
  • Spacious offices and meeting rooms
  • Large business lounge with card tables
  • Passenger capacity of just 89 (a standard B747-8i can carry up to 605 passengers)

The aircraft is being sold by AMAC Aerospace in Zurich, where it has been parked since June, according to fleet data. Despite owning an additional two private B747’s, neither the seller nor the Royal Family have provided any clarification as to why the aircraft is being sold. The same family previously sold a similarly-equipped B747-8 to Morocco in 2018.

The Qatari Royal Family’s decision to get rid of the other 747-8i BBJ two years ago was initially unclear. It later became apparent that they had given it to Turkey as a reward of sorts in light of Ankara’s support of the House of Al Thani amid a still-ongoing political spat with a number of other countries, chiefly Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

It’s not clear why the Qatar Amiri Flight is now getting rid of 37075, though it still has two other 747-8i BBJs in service. The country’s authorities had previously sold another one of the Flight’s 747-8i BBJ to the Moroccan government in 2010. At present, the Qatari Amiri Flight also has a number of widebody Airbus A340s and A330s, as well as narrowbody A319s and A320s.

The aircraft’s seller does not detail specific security systems. However, the US Department of Defence gave Northrop Grumman approval to sell missile defence systems for B747-8i aircraft. In the report, published by FlightGlobal in September 2019, Northrop Grumman sought approval for the installation of its LAIRCM system; in which incoming homing missiles are detected and deterred with a strong laser.
