Overview

• Johnny Palmer’s converted Boeing 727 Airbnb—rumored to have belonged to Pablo Escobar—remains nearly fully booked at £250 to £850 per night.
• Palmer has applied to stack a second 727 fuselage three storeys high as co-working offices with a coffee shop aimed at young creatives.
• Neighbours have formally objected to the new fuselage’s proximity to homes and cited noise from ‘rowdy’ events in the existing aircraft.
• The council has halted its review of the application pending assessment of objections and supporting letters from residents and backers.
• Advocates contend the project would generate marketing and PR jobs and exemplify innovative adaptive reuse on Bristol’s industrial estate.
