The Dubai Air Show featured 150 aircraft, from drones to commercial airliners, and, of course, the endless battle between Boeing and Airbus became a classic confrontation between these giants of the aircraft industry.

Dubai Air Show is also an important event for the corporate aircraft business. Honeywell International, which manufactures aerospace systems for a wide range of customers, predicts that up to 9,250 new business jets worth more than $400 billion will be delivered by 2023.

We made a list of the ten most expensive novelties on offer. According to July Gringuz, the owner of Novans Jets, the models of these business jets range from $38 million to $99 million. Prices can vary depending on discounts, features, and interiors.

1. Boeing Business Jet 3

The Boeing 3 business jet has already been officially introduced and can fly up to 6,000 nautical miles.

Based on the Boeing 737 commercial aircraft, the aircraft has a very large cabin. It has a living room, a staff area, a dining room, and a bedroom with a bathroom. The aircraft can carry 38 passengers and eight crew members, as well as 230 pieces of luggage.

According to experts, these large aircraft represent a much more specialized market because their size does not allow landing on small airfields.

2. Airbus A319

The Airbus A319 is the closest competitor to Boeing Business Jet. It is also the highest business jet in the market, with a capacity of 18 to 30 people and a range of up to 5,900 nautical miles.

The aircraft is a corporate jet version of the Airbus A319, a shorter version of the commercial A320.

Executive Airbus A319 Airlines can accommodate 19 people with 10 separate suites, living room, and dining area.

3. Gulfstream G650

Since its launch, Gulfstream has become incredibly popular with celebrities and billionaires. The aircraft can fly non-stop for eight passengers and four crew members at a distance of 7,000 nautical miles.

The Gulfstream G650 was in such high demand that super-wealthy owners began offering it to other buyers. Sellers make a profit of between $5 million and $7 million per flip. According to people familiar with the deal, billionaire Bernie Ecclestone, a Formula One mogul, recently transferred his G650 to an Asian businessman for a $6 million profit.

According to the company’s engineers, the Dassault Falcon 7X is the only three-engine business jet in this price segment that has excellent parameters for small airfields.

Since their introduction in 2007, 215 aircraft have been built and remain popular despite slightly smaller cabin sizes than Gulfstreams or Globals.

The interior of the 7X was designed by BMW, with a walk-in shower, Blu-ray DVD player, and in-flight internet connectivity.

Dassault assures that natural light will literally «pour» 5X, taking into account 28 windows, which «considerably more» than previous Falcon models. The windows are probably the main highlight of this model, and on the galley, there is a «skylight» to add more light to the cabin.

Buyers of these high-end jets usually have special design preferences, often inspired by their numerous homes, offices, and travels around the world. Often themes of yacht design owners are recreated on their private aircraft», – Dassault chief engineer tells.

It is also necessary to highlight the fact that almost everyone who has the opportunity to purchase an aircraft pays particular attention to the comfort and range of the jet.

Remember that safety and dimensions are equally important. Learn the details of your business jet to be sure of your choice.
