Royal Air Maroc Boeing 747-400 | Wikipedia

The Boeing 747 is a well-known aircraft with a distinct double-decker design. It has served as the United States President's Air Force One since 1990, acting as an airborne state office and command center. Other nations have followed suit, outfitting their own Boeing 747s for similar VIP transport purposes.

Several countries now operate these specially configured jets for their leaders and high-ranking officials. Each aircraft maintains the recognizable silhouette of the original but includes unique color schemes and modifications tailored to security and luxury needs.

Royal Air Maroc operates a dedicated Boeing 747 (tail number CN-RGA) for official state use, fully owned by Morocco's government. "Private lounges and meeting rooms are tailored for privacy and comfort in the case of sensitive discussions," allowing officials to conduct affairs securely in-flight.

South Korea's president travels on a leased Boeing 747 known as “Code One,” operated by the Republic of Korea Air Force. The aircraft features "luxurious arrangement of private rooms and meeting spaces" to facilitate high-level discussions during international trips.

Oman's Sultan uses a specially configured Boeing 747, part of Oman Royal Flight, which embodies "Omani national pride as well as heritage." The plane accommodates various needs with "dedicated meeting spaces with private communication channels."

Bahrain operates two Boeing 747s within its royal flight division to ensure efficient travel for its royal family and officials. The aircraft feature expansive cabins with "private quarters, conference rooms, lounges," supporting diplomatic activities globally.

Air China recently replaced older models with a new Boeing 747-8 for China's top leaders' official travel. This aircraft is integral in promoting China's global diplomatic relationships and economic interests.

Despite similarities in appearance, each country's version of these jets is uniquely modified to reflect national identity while ensuring functionality. The US Air Force One remains unmatched in terms of its comprehensive features designed specifically for presidential use.
