High fliers who want to add a little more sparkle to their travel can now order jets coated with diamonds! 

The jet, said to be the first of its kind in the world, was unveiled by Luxembourg’s Jean Boulle Luxury at the European Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (Ebace) in Geneva.

The Bombardier Global Express was painted by STTS, an expert in global aerospace painting and sealing. 

The launch follows the agreement with AkzoNobel to produce aviation grade coating for the private and commercial jet markets.

Jean Boulle Luxury’s patent pending Sun King Natural Gem Diamond Coating has already been applied to supercars produced by some of the world’s foremost luxury car marques with the result of dramatically altering the vehicle’s visual appearance whilst maintaining full functional capabilities. 

The technique involves transforming ethically sourced natural diamonds into a finish that guarantees the highest quality and brilliance within precisely defined tolerances.

Bertrand Boulle CEO of Jean Boulle Luxury, said: “This is the first plane in the world to be covered in natural gem diamonds resulting from much hard work in both the development and certification processes. The visual impact on this demanding application is simply stunning. We are delighted to showcase our product with STTS which has demonstrated effectively how the Sun King Natural Gem Diamond Coating works on a large scale.”

Frans Groot from STTS said: “We are proud to be working with Jean Boulle Luxury on this innovative natural gem diamond coating solution.” 

The three-day Ebace 2017, which is Europe’s premier business aviation exhibition, ended today.
