Travolta’s tour starts at the airstairs and flows through into a large, open-plan living are fitted with leather recliners, multiple sofas and a large TV for in-flight movies. The aircraft also sports the requisite galley and a few dining tables. The real highlight, however, is the owner’s suite, which comes furnished with a sizable queen-sized bed and a wall-mounted TV. The en suite is nothing to sneeze at, either, with a walk-in shower and a stylish vanity.
As for performance, the jet is equipped with two CFM56-7B27 engines and two Split Scimitar Winglets that increase fuel efficiency by reducing drag. As pointed out by Travolta, the plane can fly for up to 13 hours nonstop. The actor should know, too, since he’s piloted a 707, 737 and the original 747 jumbo jet.
It’s worthwhile pointing out that BBJs like this don’t come cheap; prices can reach up to several hundred million dollars. According to Boeing, this particular jet will be available for lease in early 2024. You might face some tough competition, though. Travolta certainly seemed interested in adding YG128 to his remarkable private fleet, which reportedly includes a Bombardier Challenger 601, a Boeing 727, an Eclipse 500, a Dassault Falcon 900 and three Gulfstream jets, no less.
