Rent the luxurious Dubai party jet for $15,000 per hour | Dinogo

Many habits formed during the pandemic have remained with us.

For most people, this means opting for Ubers instead of the subway or ordering delivery instead of walking to the store.

For the ultra-wealthy, these time-saving conveniences now extend to swapping scheduled flights for private jet travel.

The global private aviation industry has seen consistent growth since 2020, with the UAE, a hub of luxury and opulence, leading the charge.

A standout offering from Dubai is the 9H-FIVE party jet, introduced in 2023 by the FIVE luxury hotel brand, which operates three properties in the city.

The aircraft is an ACJ TwoTwenty, a luxury business jet developed by Airbus in collaboration with Comlux. Unlike typical corporate jets, this one prioritizes pleasure over business.

The 16-seat cabin features mood-adjusting LED lighting, electro-chromatic windows, two 55-inch TVs, an in-flight sound system with a curated playlist, smart tech touchscreens, high-speed Wi-Fi, and ample space to dance.

The jet offers an impressive 12-hour non-stop range, enough to travel from Dubai to destinations like London or Tokyo. For those feeling hungry, a fully-equipped kitchen and a dining table for eight are available, with a selection of menus from FIVE's hotels.

The cabin offers generous dimensions of 78.1 by 10.8 feet (23.8 by 3.3 meters) with a height of 6.6 feet (2 meters). Additionally, it features a luxurious Master Suite with a king-size bed and an onboard shower for a refreshing experience before landing.

VIPs and world leaders

Chartered flights have become a significant part of the private aviation boom, offering a more accessible way to experience exclusivity – though still at a premium price.

Since its official launch in April 2023, FLY FIVE has shared with Dinogo that the 9H-FIVE jet has been booked over 50 times, with high-profile customers including VIPs and heads of state, flying across Europe, the USA, the UK, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

The surge in private aviation continues despite backlash from environmental organizations, which argue that private jets contribute disproportionately to global CO2 emissions. Shorter flights, in particular, are less efficient, with much higher emissions per passenger.

FLY FIVE informed Dinogo that it compensates for its annual emissions by purchasing Nature-Based Carbon Credits, which support rainforest conservation and reforestation. They aim to renew this offsetting initiative every year. The company is also certified by the Climate Offset Certification (COC), ensuring transparency in carbon offset transactions.

At the previous year's Dubai Air Show, Lufthansa Technik introduced a new cabin concept for the upcoming BBJ 777-9, a private jet version of Boeing's 777X widebody aircraft. The design, named CelestialSTAR, features the largest rain and massage shower ever built on an aircraft, which can merge with the bedroom (complete with a king-size bed) for an ultimate private getaway.

The BBJ 777-9 will be the world’s largest twin-engine private jet, offering approximately 3,700 square feet (343 square meters) of cabin space. The aircraft boasts a nonstop flight range of 22 hours, meaning it can connect any two cities globally without needing a stopover, according to Boeing.

However, the cost for this state-of-the-art jet and its custom interior is an astounding half a billion dollars, making it an exclusive option for the ultra-ultra-wealthy.

Suzannah Harvey, the owner, told Dinogo in 2022, 'It’s an incredibly versatile event space, capable of hosting everything from a child’s birthday party to a product launch or corporate presentation.'

The entire aircraft even holds a wedding license. Harvey remarked, 'You could even get married in the cockpit if that's your choice.'
