The 747-8— one of Boeing’s most successful models—has a commercial version with an enormous cabin of 4,790 square feet (445 square meters), three levels and enough capacity for 450 passengers. Taking advantage of its size—20 feet (6.1m) wide by 250 feet (743m) long—an undisclosed client, hired the specialized company Greenpoint Technologies to customize his 747-8. After three years of hard work, the firm based in Washington, United States, delivered one of the world’s largest private VIP jets—and without a doubt the most luxurious, making it the perfect form of transportation to help you travel safely without worrying as much about catching the Corona Virus.
