Nothing says luxury like a fully decked out and customized private jet. Sure, these aircraft are beautiful on the outside, but the inside can be even better. Let’s take a look at the most luxurious private jet interiors.
A Look Inside the Most Luxurious Private Jet Models in the World
Want to travel in style? Nothing beats luxury private jets, where world-class interiors have everything from conference rooms to en-suite bedrooms and kitchens. Whether you own a plane or you’re more used to flying by private plane charter, it’s always fascinating to see how far the interior decor standards can be pushed. We’re going to take a look inside the most luxurious private jet models in the world – from manufacturers including Boeing, Airbus and Cessna – and find out how much these private planes cost to buy brand new.
Gulfstream G650ER
Range: 7,500 nautical miles (nmi)
Max cruise speed: 597 miles per hour (mph)
Cost (brand new): £51 million
The Gulfstream G650ER is one of the world’s longest-range business jets, capable of travelling further and faster than most of its competitors. Seating up to 19 passengers, the G650ER can fly non-stop between key business hubs, like from New York to Hong Kong, or London to Singapore. The jet has broken multiple speed records and uses the latest cockpit technology including a fly-by-wire flight system (which replaces the manual flight controls with an electronic interface) and an enhanced-vision system. For maximum comfort, the jet has the lowest cabin altitude in its class.
This luxury private jet interior has a flexible layout and can be customised, with premium leather, stonework, handcrafted divans, and quality wood fittings. Spaces include private staterooms and conference areas, bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, sophisticated lounges and fully-equipped galleys. There are 16 large oval windows to maximise natural light and provide stunning views. A cutting-edge Gulfstream cabin management system allows passengers to control the lighting, temperature, window shades and entertainment devices via a smartphone app.
Boeing BBJ MAX 7
Range: 7,000nmi
Max cruise speed: 527mph
Cost (brand new): £76.5 million
Boeing unveiled its latest luxury private jet interior for the BBJ MAX 7 at 2018’s National Business Aviation Association conference. The Genesis concept, designed by SkyStyle, takes inspiration from nature, with a white, grey and blue colour palette representing clouds floating above a white-sand beach. The ceiling is decorated with LEDs to replicate a starry sky, while the cabin features long, curvy lines to evoke rolling hills.
One of the most expensive private plane options, the BBJ MAX 7 has a customisable layout that can include open meeting spaces for working, a bathroom with stand-up shower, and lounge areas with long sofas. There’s also a kitchen and bedroom, as well as a crew lavatory and rest area. A previous interior design for the BBJ MAX was developed by Alberto Pinto in warmer shades with classic wood and leather furnishings.
The BBJ MAX family, which also includes the BBJ MAX 8 and BBJ MAX 9, features some of the best private jets on the market. The MAX 7 has the most extensive range, at 7,000nmi, but all the models have CFM LEAP-1B engines, top-range flight-deck technology, and the MAX Advanced Technology Winglets, which reduce drag. Spacious cabins can accommodate 19 passengers and are three times the size of most competitor jets.
Airbus ACJ Neo range
Range: 6,000 to 10,400nmi
Max cruise speed: 541 to 567mph
Cost (brand new): £65 to 70 million
Airbus offers a range of business jets that feature heavily in private aircraft guides. Models come with fully customisable cabins and unique interior design options. Based on the most successful wide body airliner in the world, the Airbus A330, the Neo range has fly-by-wire flight controls, high-speed internet, advanced engines, and a fuel-saving wing design.
The ACJ320neo can seat up to 25 passengers and has a 6,000nmi range. It’s available in the Melody design, whose flowing lines and curved walls are inspired by desert dunes and rivers.
With an even more impressive 10,400nmi range, the ACJ330neo can fly for up to 21 hours non-stop. Designed specifically with the private VIP market in mind, it’s the ideal aircraft for government heads of state and delegates, seating up to 25 people. The jet’s customisable Harmony design incorporates concentric circles and highlights like a holographic globe, which tracks the aircraft’s position. There’s a master bedroom and office, bathroom, and lounge with round tables for meetings or relaxing. Four VIP guest suites lie beyond the lounge, complete with individual offices that convert into bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. There is also separate seating for support staff and a galley at the rear of the plane.
If you’re looking for a smaller aircraft, the ACJ319neo is one of the top mid-size luxury private jets. The aircraft accommodates up to eight people with a 6,750nmi range and comes in the Infinito design, which has a classy tan, white and black colour scheme. There’s a bedroom, conference area, lounge, bathroom and kitchen, but the stand-out feature is the ‘sky ceiling’, which can project views of the sky above.
Cessna Citation Longitude and Hemisphere
Range: 3,500 to 4,500nmi
Max cruise speed: 548mph
Cost (brand new): £19.8 to 26.7 million
The Cessna Citation Longitude is a super-mid-size jet perfect for private charter flights. It seats up to 12 people, with a four-passenger range of 3,500nmi. The cabin is the quietest in its class and has 15 large windows to deliver stellar views and maximum natural light.
Amenities include a walk-in baggage compartment, plush chairs, bathroom, and kitchen with espresso maker. There are three configurations to choose from, offering side-facing seats and comfy couches. Design schemes include Bisque, Jet Black, Toffee and French Roast.
Cessna also plans to launch its Citation Hemisphere, once the Safran Silvercrest turbofan engines it needs are built and able to handle operations as planned. This aircraft will have a longer range of up to 4,500nmi and the widest cabin in its class, at 102 inches (2.6m) in diameter. Capable of accommodating up to 19 passengers, the aircraft will have over-sized windows for panoramic views and a recessed, LED-light ceiling panel that resembles a skylight. The customisable cabin has three zones that can include a bespoke dining area, lounge, office and bathroom.
Embraer Lineage 1000E
Range: 4,600nmi
Max cruise speed: 543mph
Cost (brand new): £40.5 million
Based on the Embraer E190 regional airliner, the Lineage 1000E can carry 19 passengers and has a large baggage compartment. The cabin layout features five zones spread over 10,000 cubic feet which can be arranged in various configurations. Options include office spaces, en-suite bedrooms, living rooms and bars. Aircraft designer Jay Beever has created five designs for the Embraer Lineage 1000E.
The Kyoto Airship comes with floor-to-ceiling windows, while the nautical-themed Skyacht One mimics a superyacht with its mahogany, wood and brass styling details. For a Wild West feel with horn trimming, saddle-stitched leather and bleached wood, choose the Skyranch One design. The Manhattan has a jewel-coloured interior inspired by 1930s art deco New York, while the Hollywood concept has a cloud club bar and 1930s Tinseltown feel.
Bombardier Global 7000
Range: 7,300nmi
Max cruise speed: 700mph
Cost (brand new): £52.5 million
The Bombardier Global 7000 has a massively improved maximum flight range over its predecessors, making this the premium private aircraft in Bombardier’s flagship range of jets. The plane’s 7,300nmi range means this aircraft is capable of transporting its 19 passengers non-stop between Sydney and San Francisco, New York and Dubai, or even London and Singapore.
The interior options for the Global 7000 are state of the art and incredibly luxurious, with bespoke options available from high-end interior design specialist companies, not least Design Q. Wood panelling, silk carpets, and brushed and polished metals are the standard for Design Q’s modern and refined design language. Though the style and layouts of these interiors aren’t quite as extravagant as some others, they still exude opulence and sheer luxury.
