Roman Abramowitsch – Chelsea boss changes giant private jet – the new one comes from Switzerland

The Boeing 767, which Abramowitsch affectionately called the bandit, is more spacious than many apartments – or even houses.

For entertainment there is a reading room, three guest rooms, a dining room, a living room, a library, a master bedroom, two guest bathrooms, plus a master bathroom. There is also a retreat for the crew in the luxury aircraft. But now the aircraft is advertised for sale.

As «Forbes Russia» writes, the billionaire has already bought a Boeing 787-8 as a replacement, which costs around 320 million francs with all the equipment and is even more spacious. The magazine quotes an insider: “Roman Abramowitsch gave himself a New Year’s present”. The jet, which is now owned by the Chelsea boss, is a construct that was actually built for the Swiss business airline Privatair. After Privatair went bankrupt in 2018, a new buyer was sought and a solvent customer was found in Abramowitsch.

On December 18, the 224 square meter plane flew from Basel to Moscow. However, it is puzzled about the equipment. What additional furniture did the Russian want in his new dream jet?

Next to his new plane has sich Abramowitsch had a 140-meter-long luxury yacht designed at Bremerhaven’s Lloyd shipyard last year. For the Exterior design from the ship war the Australian industrial designer Marc Newson responsible. In that is estimated to be more than 520 million francs expensive Gem it has a helicopter landing pad, several pools, 48 cabins for 36 passengers, as well as a club and spa area.

But that’s not all. Because the owner of the Premier League Club Chelsea is also a buyerr the longest yachts in the world. The 162.5 meter long «Eclipse» has two helicopter landing pads, 24 sleeping cabins, various swimming– and spa baths and a mini submarine that can dive up to 50 meters. To the protection from attack would the yacht with a Missile defense system equipped. However, it is not known whether the Dreamliner, like the Boeing 767 and the luxury ships, is equipped with a security system. The Russian billionaire would certainly be able to do this.
