It does seem to be the season of private jet acquisitions as the billionaire industrialist, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has just added a Bombardier Global7500 to his Fleet. For Dangote, regarded as Africa’s wealthiest man, flying is like good music; soothing and therapeutic. It elevates the spirit and offers exhilarating freedom from the drudgery of running a thriving conglomerate and meeting up with social and family demands.
To make life easier and global junkets more pleasurable, Dangote has added an aircraft with a wing that’s a technological marvel and engineered for maximum control and agility at all speeds while delivering the smoothest ride. The Master Suite of the new aircraft, the manufacturers state, offers the soothing tranquillity of home and luxurious comfort in a personal space that features an unprecedented array of optional furnishings, including a permanent bed and provides more natural light than any other cabin in business aviation, as well as providing every passenger with a window seat.
“No other business jet offers the Global 7500 aircraft’s ultimate combination of range, speed, field performance and smooth ride,” states Bombardier. Dangote’s new jet is valued at about $75m.
