Decommissioned Jet Linked to Pablo Escobar Becomes Airbnb in Bristol

A renovated Boeing 727, rumored to have belonged to the infamous drug lord, offers luxury amenities and a unique stay atop shipping containers in an industrial estate.

  • The stationary Boeing 727, located in Bristol, England, features two double bedrooms, a gold-plated lavatory, a sauna, and a hot tub.
  • Owner Johnny Palmer transformed the decommissioned jet into an Airbnb after securing planning permission from the Bristol City Council.
  • The plane, built in 1968 and converted into a private jet in 1981, was last flown in 2012 before being repurposed for its current use.
  • While its ownership history is unclear, rumors suggest past owners included Pablo Escobar, Middle Eastern royalty, and Mafia figures.
  • The Airbnb costs between $600 and $1,055 per night depending on the season, with plans underway to add a second, larger airplane next to the current one.
