Overview
The A380 VIP, often called A380 Prestige, applied the double-deck A380 concept to private transport. The appeal was the scale of the available interior rather than the operating footprint of a conventional business jet.
Program history
Airbus recorded an A380 VIP order during the programme’s early years. This entry describes the historical corporate concept; specifications or interior illustrations should not be read as evidence that a completed Prestige aircraft entered private service.
