Vladimir Putin's Plane

Vladimir Putin - the Russian supremo. The President's office has commissioned an Ilyushin 96-300 jet to be re-designed and re-fitted at a cost of £10m (approx. RM68m). At this rate, it has already been mentioned that it's a ludicrous price and even leaving the USA's VIP airplanes way behind.

Malaysia also will be getting their latest toy, an Airbus A319 Corporate jet. Bought at a price of between US$40m to US$45m and to be re-furbished at a cost of US$10m by Jet Aviation in Switzerland.

As for Putin's jet, a Bristol based company, Diamonite, has been awarded the contract.








Gold-plated taps and shower in the bathroom.
Silk-covered walls in the plane.
Upholstered leather seats equivalent to those leather seats in an Aston Martin car.
