13. Airbus A330-200 – France
Touted as being “cost-effective and flexible,” French President Francois Hollande is riding pretty in the Airbus A330-200, which flashes a price tag of a mere $240 million. This plane is capable of both short-term and long-term trips, making it a smart choice for the Frenchman. Plus, it can seat 247 passengers, making it ideal for those long meetings between world leaders as they soar high in the air. Of course, it wouldn’t be a presidential plane without some upgrades, such as LED lights, a modern interior, extra-plush seating, and some bunks for the crew. As far as stats are concerned, the Airbus A330-200 features a twin-engine and 222-inch fuselage cross-section wide body. At takeoff, it weighs in at 242 metric tonnes!
