French president Sarkozy orders €176 million plane

Sarkozy

French President Nicolas Sarkozy ’s dream of having a presidential jet to rival Air Force One of the United States is about to come true.
“Air Sarko One,” a $241-million Airbus A330-200, has made its first test flight in Bordeaux, southwestern France.
Although not quite as big as the Boeing 747-200 that is Air Force One, the French A330-200 will be at least ten metres longer and two metres higher that the aircraft used by other European leaders.
