First Ever Hostel Inside Plane Opens
World's first hostel built onboard a real Boeing 747-200 Jumbo Jet
JANUARY 16, 2009 - A Boeing Jumbo Jet (Liv) has undergone a complete overhaul and major renovation work since last year. Liv was grounded at Stockholm Arlanda Airport back in November 2002.
Back then it retired from operating Charter and Pilgrim flights and now the Jumbo is ready to welcome guests onboard once again, this time with a new image and purpose.
'It's just fantastic and unbelievably exciting to finally be able to show something so unique and special for the rest of the world' - says Gisela Olsson, Site Manager at the Jumbo Hostel.
Since August when the Jumbo (Liv) was towed and relocated to its new permanent location at the entrance to Stockholm Arlanda Airport, it has become a significant landmark. Many people who travel to and from the airport have already drawn attention to the Jumbo Hostel.
Stockholm Arlanda Airport will now boast a new alternative option for overnight accommodation, but also a great attraction. This should bring an increased interest in Stockholm and the region, continues Oscar Di"os, CEO and mastermind of the Jumbo Hostel.
