Private jets have exploded since the pandemic began as more and more tourists have realized the convenience and efficiency of flying on private jets. Passengers can not only avoid security queues and crowded airports but also enjoy luxurious amenities on the plane. The industry is reshaping itself with new types of aircraft to keep up with growing demand.
Depending on the type of aircraft, there are different amenities. Smaller commercial jets such as Volaris' HondaJet have four large seats and a small showroom in the compartment. The hourly fee is $4,000.
Meanwhile, those with big budgets and those who want more luxury and sophistication can choose larger plans with more living spaces, such as Bombardier Global 7500 of VistaJet, which rents tens of thousands of USD.
Florida-based aviation design company VIP Completions has received unique projects from wealthy customers who want to customize their plans.
On April 21, the company announced that it had completed the interior and exterior renovation of the Boeing 767 private plane owned by businessman, lawyer and philanthropist John Ruiz.
The Boeing 767, which can carry 33 people, is the largest project the company has ever implemented. It has 6 living areas, including a bedroom, dining room and family cinema.
According to VIP Completions president Ben Shirazi, the plane will resemble a luxury palace rather than a business plane after being delivered.
In addition to the size and potential it brings, the 767 stands out from other VIP wide body platforms for its impressive range, elevation and speed, Shirazi said.
Ruiz's plane has six separate living spaces, two of which are in the main living room.
The spacious living room has a 7-seat dining room and entertainment area with an 8-inch family cinema and a DJ system with a large-scale sound system for those who are passionate about sound.
The airline entertainment area is also very luxurious.
The plane also has a meeting room with space for 8 people, a main bedroom with a separate bathroom with queen beds, a standing bathroom and a leather closet, and two lounges that can be converted into a living room.
The aircraft's interior lounge can be converted to multi-purpose.
Connecting the rooms is a long walk.
The Boeing VIP also has four toilets, two of which are VIP bathrooms with standing bathrooms and wooden floors, and a makeup table made of white marble.
The company said the interior has been personalized to express Ruiz's personality and passion.
Specifically, the hand-co selected color combinations include light gray, light white, Taupe brown and gray. The accessories originated from luxury brands such as Loro Piana and Garrett Leather.
The flight experience has also been optimized to bring convenience and comfort to passengers.
The private plane provides modern high-speed Internet, spectrum LED lighting and HD sound systems, all powered by iPads.
VIP Completions not only remodeled the interior but also brought the aircraft a modern paint layer.
The new bold exterior has "black, white and pearl with sophisticated accents" by using high-quality paint.
In addition, the engine's steering tubes are created a shiny "carbon fiber effect".
The project is one of more than 15 private jets the company has provided to Ruiz and other customers. For example, VIP Completions has completed the customization of the Bombardier Challenger 605 and Dassault Falcon 900c.
