Attention hip hop stars and billionaires: the world's biggest airliner, the
73-metre-long (239-feet) Airbus A380 superjumbo, has been ordered by a
mysterious buyer for use as a private jet.
The order sets new heights in the private plane sector, leaving the Learjet,
which used to be the ultimate symbol of ostentatious air travel, in second
class.


Is this a second private A380 purchase, or just a public announcement of
the order that was place last winter?
