Retired British Airways jet transformed into $1,300 per hour 'party plane'

Suzannah Harvey, chief executive of the Cotswold Airport near Kemble in western England, bought the Negus 747 for just over a $1 back in October 2020 and has spent around 14 months converting it into a versatile events space.

(CNN) — There are many different places a retired plane can end up in its after life.

Some return to the sky to fly for other airlines, others are recycled for parts (around 80 to 85% of an aircraft can be recycled) while a vast number are relocated to aircraft boneyards.

One particular decommissioned British Airways jet is gearing up for a very action-packed future after being reborn as a unique events space for hire based at a UK airport.
