Who can book the plane?
Flights are open for booking to anyone interested, allowing reservations for seats on the plane for trips lasting up to 12 hours.
What is the total cost of partying on the plane?
Indulging in a private jet party comes at a price of Rs 11-12 lakh per hour, excluding relocation expenses. A round-trip ticket from London to Dubai would amount to nearly $195,000, which is similar to the cost of a first-class ticket with Emirates Airlines when considering the entire journey.
Amidst the COVID-19 shutdown, witnessing a surge in the private jet market, Mr. Mulchandani made the decision to acquire the aircraft.
In August 2021, Mr. Mulchandani reached an agreement for the purchase and signed the contract a few months later, with no expectations of making profits from the jet. He considered it a crucial marketing tool for his brand, and when it’s not booked, he and his business can utilize it. Interestingly, Mr. Mulchandani managed to secure discounted fuel costs for five years, demonstrating impeccable timing. While he didn’t disclose the purchase price, he estimates the market value of the jet to be between $80 million and $85 million.
Mr. Mulchandani stated that the aircraft needs to accumulate 200 flight hours per year to reach a break-even point.
