Re: Luxury jet for Musharraf
European leaders do that because they have the money for it.
Operating costs on a giant plane such as a airliner are significantly higher than for small corporate jets like Learjets, which require less fuel and less maintainance.
Once day inshallah when Pakistan is rich like a European country, our leaders will travel around in full-sized airliners. Until then though, we'll have to make-do with smaller aircraft like Learjets.
Bro,
you must be well informed that service, maintenance as well as "warehousing" costs burden any budget the most. And I believe that Learjets maintenance/repair is high priced in equation to a full-sized privatized airliner.
