Spotlight: Boeing 747-VIP
The staggering and unmistakable silhouette of the Boeing 747 has been a stalwart of our skies since its introduction in 1968, and, though there have been a number of iterations in its life, the Boeing 747-VIP offers a commercial chartering experience like no other.
Seating 189 passengers, making it the largest Business Class aircraft in the world, the 747-VIP’s winning combination of its extraordinary capacity for passengers, the spaciousness of its cabin and generous luggage capacity truly puts it in a league of its own.
The iconic double-deck configuration of the 747 allows for a partial upper level housing 26 lie-flat Business Class seats, with a further three Business cabins solely furnished with lie-flat seats on the main deck. Housed in the nose of the plane on the main deck, 10 spacious First Class suites kitted out with personal 15” screens separate your VIPs from the rest of the passengers – making this a perfect space for commercially sensitive conversations to take place. The rear cabin on the main deck seats 36 in an Economy formation of 2 x 4 x 2 seats.
The luxury of chartering a 747-VIP extends to meal offerings on board; with four galley kitchens, there is capacity for two full VIP food services (as well as the provision of plenty of snacks) served by the 16 dedicated cabin crew on board. The ratio of passengers to cabin crew ensures that the flight runs smoothly, and that your passengers’ every need is catered for in a timely fashion.
Boasting a multitude of inflight entertainment options for passengers, the 747-VIP comes equipped with everything you need to make the most out of your flight time. With wifi as standard, video and audio facilities can be utilised on all flights, and, with each seat featuring a personal screen of at least 9”, it could be the perfect opportunity to make the most of a captive audience (for all 13 hours of flight range if you so wish). Take advantage of the time usually lost in flying, and prepare employees for a conference at the final destination.
Our Charter Concepts team is at your disposal to elevate your charter experience to new lofty heights. From company-branded collateral or conference reading material waiting on seats for your employees to logo-emblazoned check-in desks, contact our Commercial Jets department, and let us take care of the rest.
