Since 2018, President López Obrador has tried to lure corporations and business executives to buy the jet, and even held a symbolic raffle for itMexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Monday he has now essentially given up on his quixotic bid to sell off the presidential jet, and will rent it out for weddings or parties.
López Obrador admitted the government has not been able to sell the Boeing 787 jet, which he calls too luxurious and refuses to use. Instead, the president said he will simply give the jet to a military-led company that will operate the new Mexico City Felipe Angeles airport. The plane will be parked there and will be available for people to rent to hold in-flight parties aboard.
“The rental fees will pay for its expenses and maintenance,” López Obrador said. “It will be open to the public if anyone wants it, because they're getting married ... and they want to bring their friends and family ... or coming of age parties, birthdays.”
Wait... say what?
maybe 45 could buy it for flying to Moscow
