VIP Customer to Buy First Private Airbus A380


These days regular private jets such as Gulfstream and Learjets are just not good enough. An undisclosed billionaire from Middle East has agreed to purchase a new Airbus A380 for about $300 million. If that wasn't enough an additional $100 million will be spent out outfitting the interior to include two dining areas, a 600 sq ft. master bedroom and a game room. The commercial version of this jumbo jet can be configured to seat up to 853 passengers on two decks.

This so called mansion in the sky is not only very costly to operate, it will also create a problem of where it could be landed. Due to the size of this plane many airport runways are too short for it and lack the adequate equipment.
