Air Force One look-alike Boeing 747s are quietly serving as the ultimate status symbol for world leaders.

These jumbo jets aren’t just about getting from A to B, but getting to your destination in style.

From ornate interiors dripping with luxury to secure command centers hidden behind polished doors, they combine prestige with top security.

And while America’s Air Force One may be the most famous, it’s far from the only 747 carrying kings, royals, and presidents.

Inside the jets flying our world leaders

Take Morocco’s Royal Air Maroc 74, tail number CN-RGA.

It’s less of a plane, and more of a flying throne room for the King of Morocco.

Inside, the jet is fitted with private lounges, meeting spaces, and secure communications so official business never has to pause, even at 35,000 feet.

Moroccan art and national emblems adorn the interiors, transforming the jumbo into a flying cultural ambassador wherever it lands.

Over in Dubai, the Dubai Air Wing operates not one but two Boeing 747-400s.

These are essentially airborne palaces for the royal family and government leaders of the United Arab Emirates.

Inside, the jets mix lavish luxury with cutting-edge communications systems so the country’s rulers can conduct diplomacy and economic deals midair.

Plush lounges, conference rooms, and secure links back home mean that Dubai’s leaders can run the show while cruising above the clouds.

Air Force One is still the ultimate presidential jet

South Korea also has its own version, known by the call sign ‘Code One.’

This Boeing 747, leased from Korean Air, ferries the President of South Korea on official business around the world.

Like its American counterpart, the aircraft is equipped with secure communications and private meeting areas, ensuring seamless governance in flight.

Its distinct paint scheme often grabs attention on the tarmac, symbolizing Korea’s presence on the international stage during summits and state visits.

And knowing South Korea, it wouldn’t surprising if Code One came with some pretty futuristic technology.

And of course, Air Force One still reigns as the ultimate VIP 747.

The US president’s aircraft is packed with features that go way beyond luxury: encrypted communications, a medical suite, advanced defense systems, and even the ability to refuel in midair.

Now that the US has accepted the $400 million Boeing jet from Qatar, it remains to be seen how the new Air Force One will measure up.
