UK businessman buys Boeing 747 and transforms it into a private event venue Fantastic

In recent years, many airlines have stopped flying Boeing 747s. It is an iconic aircraft, revered by those in business – the so-called Queen of Heaven. But with the epidemic, companies had to cut costs. And those older planes that used more fuel were forced to retire.
