Pimp my Airbus A380 Designed by Edése Doret
Private Jet bragging rights among the ultra rich have just taken a quantum leap to a lavish flying palace that is being created inside the biggest passenger plane ever built. The plane is the Airbus super jumbo A-380, the double-decker that can carry up to 800 passengers if it is configured with only the cheap seats. There will be just 82 passengers in the private version.
Airbus will not identify the individual who ordered the $300 million plane. That price, incidentally, is only the starting point.
Edése Doret, who designed the interior of the A-380, will say only that he is a “Head of state.” The New York-based Doret, who has customized jets since 1988, says his work will add another $150 million to the total cost.
The price tag includes the cost of modifying the fuselage for an “Air Force One Stairway” which allows passengers and crew to enter the plane directly from the ground through the cargo bay. That stairway leads to a lower spiral staircase which takes passengers to the entry lounge. Another, wide sweeping staircase leads passengers to the grand lounge on the upper deck.
