Once the transport for top bosses of the German Democratic Republic government, this 1960 Ilyushin 18 has been converted to a single luxury suite for 2. The plane is 40 metres long and now comes equipped with a little more luxury than it's former owners would have approved of - let alone publicly enjoyed!
With a Jacuzzi, shower, infrared sauna, mini bar, flat screen TV's (three of them!), Blu-ray DVD / entertainment combo (plus a selection of DVD's), and a pantry with coffee/tea making facilities, oven/microwave etc. you can enjoy a great deal of comfort - while still sleeping on a plane.

Planes can be a bit stuffy inside, so they've included air conditioning too, so you're assured of a level of overnight comfort.

And of course... the cockpit is left untouched, so although flights are limited to your dreams, there is plenty of airplane fun to be had as you pretend to be pilot and chief steward or stewardess!

Former life
This plane flew dignitaries including Erich Honecker during it's early life as a political transport for the favoured government leadership. Converted to commercial airline use in 1964, it flew up to 120 passengers and 4 crew in slightly less comfort with East-German airline, Interflug until 1986. Destinations included Cuba, China and Vietnam as well as Soviet bloc Russia.
After the German unification the plane served as a restaurant for 15  years until it was acquired in 2007 and converted to a hotel.

A welcome package is waiting for you upon arrival, offering a tasty snack  with your coffee or tea. You can also use the bathrobes and slippers  that are made available to help you enjoy your stay at this luxury  suite.

Meeting Space
In addition to offering luxury accommodation, the airplane can also be hired as a meeting space for ten to fifteen people in total luxury.
While most will arrive by car, there can be nothing more 'bling' than flying to Teuge airport from Europe and then parking your business jet alongside the aircraft suite?
Every possible technical meeting facility is provided on board, and the team can easily provide for your catering needs.

From your airplane suite, you have a view of the taxi areas  and runway at Teuge airport. While at the airport, you can book an aerial experience tour, by  plane or  helicopter, and for those with a more serious interest in flight,  book a flight lesson if you want to ride the  skies!
