Airliners VIP
Reconfigured airliners with “VIP” interiors, Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) and Boeing Business Jets (BBJ) represent the majority of this category, which is the ultimate in terms of comfort, luxury, and on-board extras. They can be personalised to the extreme, and there are almost as many interiors as there are VIP airliners, featuring armchairs, sofas, bedrooms with fixed beds, bathrooms with showers, meeting rooms, private suites, multi-class configurations with first-class, business and economy seats, bars, and cinemas. These flying hotels can carry between 15 and 100 passengers over the longest distances and in the greatest possible comfort. However, due to their high operational costs, they are not always suited to short-haul flights.
