S
pending your well-earned holiday in Bali is one thing, but staying in a converted commercial jet is certainly an experience unlike any other.
Behind Private Jet Villa by Hanging Gardens in Uluwatu, Bali lies an intricate process, taking great effort to transport the massive Boeing piece by piece. After consulting with the Boeing team, the whole plane was taken apart, with 50,000 bolts loosened.
It took a substantial sixteen-meter platform, two cranes (25 tons and 50 tons with a 60-meter boom), and a team of 20 people working day and night for two months on the planning of the transportation process and its coordination.
The transportation convoy was accompanied by the police all the way, with the average speed of the vehicles transporting the elements at 1 km/h.
The subsequent assembly of the aircraft was no less challenging. The whole process looked like assembling a colossal construction: several cranes were involved that lifted each element, and specialists assembled them in a suspended state.
And now, standing proudly over the Uluwatu cliffs, the jet is finally ready for the first lucky guests to have an experience of a lifetime. It is expected to be open on the second quarter of this year.
