That whale cost over USD$250,000,000 a pop! And I can bet the buyer is some Sheik or King in the Middle East. Doubt any charter company will buy something this big that can only fly to certain airports due to weight and size...

Cool Re: Air Bus Palace...
Wouldn’t care for one myself but I’d love to have a garage big enough for it.

Re: Air Bus Palace...
"The problem is that when a VIP customer wants one, he wants it tomorrow," he says. "He doesn't want to have to wait."

Reminds me of seeing a spoiled little rich kid whining and crying because he wants something from daddy

I wonder what kind of warranty comes with a $250,000,000 (dang that's a ton of 0's!) item?
I'm sorry sir but your nose to tail warranty period expired at 36,000 miles and the windows that were broken by the drunken women are not covered either

Re: Air Bus Palace...
I was trying to find a direct link to Airbus pricing guide for their aircraft, but to give you an idea, here's the Boeing one, and will tell you the price range for their comercial products...

Boeing: Commercial Airplanes -- Jet Prices Home
