What is the 787 Dream Jet Charging RMB500,000 per Hour Like?

Deer Jet, the largest business jet company in Asia, recently launched “Hong Kong-Tahiti Dream Journey”. In addition to enjoying 7 nights of a presidential suite in a local top-level five-star hotel, passengers will take the unique 787 Dream Jet between Hong Kong and Tahiti.

787 Dream Jet was formally taken over by Deer Jet on September 19, 2016. This jet has a spacious 220m2 cabin. Passengers can savor delicacies supplied by Four Seasons Hotel high in the sky and appreciate Primrose Tiara (there are only four Primrose Tiara crowns in the world) in the bedroom on board. This 787 is praised as “the most perfect business jet in the world” the first time it was launched.

Zhang Peng regarded 787 Dream Jet introduced by HNA Group and taken over by Deer Jet as an opportunity for Deer Jet’s strategic upgrading. Facing the restoring global business aviation market, Deer Jet will try a brand new business model, with an ambition to be a world-leading company in business aviation market.
Without a doubt, the service price of 787 is costly. External services offered by business aircraft are charged hourly. The standard fee for a Gulfstream G550 is about RMB100,000/hour, while that of 787 Dream Jet reaches about RMB500,000/hour. However, the flights for the Dream Jet have been booked through June.

Over the years, HNA Group has expanded into numerous directions and acquired quite a few high-quality resources and now it has unintentionally entered a stage of resource integration. In this regard, Deer Jet proposes a new branding idea of “making travel an art” and extends its tentacles to every aspect of high-end business travel.
“There are still changes in the overseas market. China put forward the ‘Belt and Road’ at that time, so we decided to make a strategic adjustment and lay our focus on the international market instead of the domestic market, accelerate our internationalization course and extend our outbound industry chain,” said Chang Peng.

In fact, 787 Dream Jet took the lead in operating in international market. According to Zhang Peng, Deer Jet will park a plane in the Middle East throughout the year, with a view to serve local customers.
According to Zhang Peng, “We are committed to building a world-leading high-end business travel service brand on behalf of China in the near future.”

Boeing has achieved a significant milestone by providing NASA with the second core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.

This crucial component, crafted at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF), is set to propel the Artemis II crew into lunar orbit, marking humanity’s return to deep space after a 50-year hiatus.

The monumental Boeing-built rocket stage, the largest element of the Artemis II mission, will embark on a journey aboard the Pegasus barge, traveling 900 miles to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

Upon arrival, it will be meticulously integrated with other essential Artemis II components, including the upper stage, solid rocket boosters, and NASA’s Orion spacecraft within the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building. This intricate integration process is a vital step toward the eagerly anticipated Artemis II launch, slated for 2025.

“Boeing-built products helped land humankind on the moon in 1969, and we’re proud to continue that legacy through the Artemis generation,” remarked Dave Dutcher, vice president and program manager for Boeing’s SLS program. “Together, with NASA and our industry partners and suppliers, we are building the world’s most capable rocket and paving the way to deep space through America’s rocket factory in New Orleans.”

The delivery of Core Stage 2 marks a significant achievement in the evolution of the SLS rocket. Towering over 200 feet and powered by four RS-25 engines, this core stage, coupled with two solid-fueled booster rockets, will generate a staggering 8.8 million pounds of thrust. This immense power is crucial to launching Artemis II and future missions into the vast expanse of space.

The SLS rocket stands unparalleled in its capability to transport both crew and substantial cargo to the moon and beyond in a single launch. Its extraordinary capacity will facilitate the delivery of human-rated spacecraft, habitats, and scientific missions to destinations including the moon and Mars, ushering in a new era of space exploration.
