IL18 Hotel
It was always going to happen. An Airliner becomes a Hotel. For a Euro 450,000 investment entrepreneur Ben Thijssen has installed a Bar, Jakuzi and Sauna in a Illushin type 18 Airline which saw service on routes to Havana during the time of the East German Federal Republic. He plans to be acccepting Guests this Northern Summer. This amazing project has been set up near the Airport of Teuge bei Apeldoorn in Holland.
The cockpit is in original condition says Thijssen. DDR-Chief Erich Honecker often flew in this machine. The cokpit has a seat for the members of the Ustashi who always were required to fly with him.
Thijssen is sure the Honiger Hotel will get good bookings.
