Drake Is Redesigning His Air Drake Private Jet: Here’s a Sneak Peek
Air Drake is getting a facelift.
The Toronto rapper recently previewed Air Drake 2’s redesign on Instagram, and it features a message that confirms your suspicions: “Chances are she’s on board.” Air Drake’s first iteration had the message, “If you’re reading this we left,” a play on his classic 2015 mixtape If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.
The private Boeing 767 is a gift from cargo company Cargojet and can fit around 200 passengers if it were equipped like a commercial plane. Both iterations of the plane’s exterior were designed by the late Virgil Abloh. Air Drake 1’s paint job took inspiration from the cover of the rapper’s 2013 album Nothing Was the Same, with its blue sky and fluffy clouds. Air Drake 2, however, looks to be painted with a more overcast sky and lightning.
The cabin features three private suites, two living rooms, a business lounge, an entertainment room and a bathroom with a shower. All this is accented with gold and wood surfaces, carpeted floors and beige and light purple furniture.
When Drake first showed off his plane back in 2019, he said he partnered with Cargojet because he wanted to support a Canadian business. “Supporting home grown businesses has always been a top priority of mine, so when an opportunity came up to get involved with a great Canadian company I was honored to do so,” he said in a press release.
Air Drake is almost 30 years old and was first bought in 1996 by Saudi Arabia’s Mid East Jet, according to chi-aviation.com.
