Qantas Inspired 737 Private Jet That Never ‘Took Off’

By Qantas

As you might or might not know Mark Newson is a designer and he works closely alongside Qantas. He’s designed the first lounges, the A330 suites, and even all the things onboard the A380. In 2014 Marc designed a mock-up of a 737 BBJ which was Qantas inspired, however, the idea never actually came to life and to this day remains a mock up. Here are the mock-up photos of the BBJ.

The 737 planned to have a master bedroom with an ensuite, sitting room, massage room, living room, dining room, crew quarters, galley and lavatories.

If you’ve ever visited the first or chairmans lounges, you’ll be familiar with the carpet design.
