If you fancy flying in the lap of luxury, there’s a new private jet on the way that will take flight in early 2021. Hospitality company, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, has unveiled plans for an all-new private jet, and it will replace its current jet, which debuted in 2015.

The new plane, like the old one, will invite travellers to book custom globe-trotting adventures that stop at different Four Seasons properties around the world. The Canada-headquartered group claims that it will evoke the bygone glamour of air travel, coupled with a guest-centric design.

The new A321LR aircraft, part of the new Airbus NEO family, will offer the widest and tallest cabin in its class, and will include a new spacious lounge area that invites socialising among guests. It will have only 48 custom handcrafted seats made from Italian leather, with purpose-built personal ottomans at each seat.

It will also become the setting for a series of Four Seasons artisans to showcase their talents and craft in interactive workshops. Guests will have the opportunity to meet and learn from master chefs and mixologists, wellness experts and arts and culture aficionados.

The on-board Four Seasons executive chef will enjoy an expanded galley area in which to prepare menus that are inspired by the journey itself. The chef will be joined on the jet by a concierge, physician and a director of guest experience, among other staff from the hotel group.

“When designing the new Four Seasons Private Jet, we were inspired by the glamour and prestige of air travel in times past, when every flight was a special occasion,” says Dana Kalczak, Four Seasons Vice President, Design.
“With a laser focus on comfort and functionality, our aim is to create an environment that encourages spontaneous social interaction between everyone on board, reinforcing the power of connection.”
