I wonder who has taken this up? I thought that the Sultan of Brunei has already ordered one for his private fleet. There are a lot of players from China and India that could happily afford one of these. The only downside being is that theres only so many places you can land the thing. I would love to see the inside of this though, the guys at Lufthansa know their stuff - how would you like a catwalk, swimming pool or even a beach!
