MUMBAI- The Ambani family is gearing up for one of India’s most extravagant weddings in recent memory. Anant Ambani, the younger son of billionaire Mukesh Ambani, is set to marry his long-time girlfriend Radhika Merchant in Mumbai on Friday (July 12, 2024).
The scale of the event is truly impressive, with the family reportedly hiring three Dassault Falcon-2000 jets just to transport guests.
Ambani Wedding Private Jets
Rajan Mehra, CEO of air charter company Club One Air, expects over 100 private planes to be used for the festivities.
The Dassault Falcon 2000 is a luxurious business jet that has become a popular choice for corporate and private travel. Developed by the French aerospace company Dassault Aviation, it’s part of their renowned Falcon series.
This twin-engine jet is essentially a more compact version of its predecessor, the Falcon 900 trijet. By shortening the fuselage by 7 feet, Dassault created a more efficient aircraft that can comfortably accommodate up to 10 passengers, albeit with a slightly reduced range compared to the Falcon 900.
Since its introduction in 1995 for $17.85 million, the Falcon 2000 has seen significant upgrades and price increases. The latest model, the 2023 Falcon 2000LXS, now commands a hefty $36 million price tag, reflecting its continued evolution and status in the world of private aviation.
Grand Wedding in Mumbai
The main ceremony will take place at the Jio World Centre in Mumbai’s business district, with celebrations spanning three days. The city is already feeling the impact, with traffic restrictions in place and roads near the venue reserved for “event vehicles” during peak hours.
The Ambani residence, Antilia, and the surrounding area are being lavishly decorated with lights and flowers, creating a festive atmosphere.
This grand wedding is the culmination of months of celebrations, including pre-wedding events in Jamnagar, a luxury cruise in Europe, and recent gatherings in Mumbai. The Ambanis have spared no expense, featuring performances by global superstars like Justin Bieber, Rihanna, and the Backstreet Boys.
As Mumbai prepares for this high-profile union, it’s clear that the Ambani-Merchant wedding will be remembered as a truly spectacular affair.
New Private Plane Coming Soon
The Ambani family, known for their opulent lifestyle, is once again making waves in the aviation world. Aviation A2Z recently reported that the Ambanis have acquired a Boeing 737 MAX 9 BBJ (Boeing Business Jet), making them the only owners worldwide of this specific model with a sealed mid-cabin exit door.
This special aircraft, valued at a staggering $118.5 million, is set to join their existing fleet of three planes, which includes two Embraer ERJ 145s and an Airbus A319. Currently, the new Boeing is in France undergoing extensive modifications to meet the family’s exacting standards.
Experts anticipate that the interior will be outfitted with premium first-class seats, luxurious decor, and customized galleys befitting the Reliance Group’s reputation for extravagance.
This acquisition further cements the Ambanis’ status as one of India’s most influential and wealthy families, showcasing their penchant for exclusivity and luxury in air travel.
