The Airbus Corporate Jets ACJ380 is recognized as the world's largest and most expensive private jet. Derived from the Airbus A380 commercial jetliner, this model offers unprecedented luxury and space. Initially priced at $450 million, customization could raise the cost to around $600 million. The aircraft's size allows for extensive modifications, making it a symbol of prestige and affluence.
Royalty, including Prince Al Waleed bin Talal Al Saud, have shown interest in the ACJ380, which he commissioned in 2007, dubbing it "The Flying Palace." Though the exact cost of his customized A380 remains undisclosed, estimates suggest it surpassed half a million US dollars. The Prince's existing fleet of private jets includes a customized Boeing 747, underscoring his penchant for luxury air travel.
Airbus introduced the A380 in the early 2000s, aiming at a niche market. The aircraft's capacity to seat 853 passengers and comprehensive customization options make it an ideal choice for the wealthy. Airbus highlighted the A380's appeal, stating, “With its unique cabin architecture and the quietest cabin in the sky, the A380 has unmatched passenger appeal. The A380 has been voted as the best aircraft type by Global Traveler's readers, confirming that the A380 is truly a passenger favourite.”
