Cougar Leasing are planning to operate a 50 seat VIP passenger aircraft from April 2003 using a refurbished Super 27 B727/200 aircraft.
The plan is to remove the aircraft from service at the end of October 2002 and to give it a complete overhaul both inside and outside.
During the overhaul the interior will have a transformation by having 50 business class seats fitted each with facilities for the use of personal laptop computers, and individual DVD players will be available with a good selection of DVDs available from the onboard library. The will be a lounge with settees and tables plus a bar area, changing rooms each fitted with hand basins, and luxury toilets. Long-range fuel tanks will be installed
allowing the aircraft to operate non-stop across the Atlantic.
Outside there will be a new livery giving the whole aircraft the look of luxury.
