Dubizzle, a popular online selling platform in Dubai, is advertising an Airbus A340 Prestige for sale, with the seller expecting a quick sale for about Dh150 million (US$40.8m).
The aircraft was described in the advert as “out of original packaging but only used once”.
It is being sold by an intermediary, Al Jabbari International, a trade and investment consulting company based in Serbia. The director of the firm, Mohammed Al Jabbari, said Dubizzle is "the most visited website in Dubai. Even the most senior figures in Dubai visit Dubizzle".
“There are registration plate numbers sold there that are worth more than Dh30 million (US$8m). It’s normal also to find an aircraft.”
He said that the owner of the plane was a VIP based in Switzerland. The plane is registered in France and has been flown for 80 hours since it was built in 2012. A portion of the interior decor is in gold.
Al Jabbari suggested it would be "one of the sheikhs or top businessmen in the Middle East who would buy it and use it as a private jet".
The aircraft is powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 500 engines and is described by Airbus as “today’s ultimate long-haul VIP transport”.
