It was also probably one of the most expensive photo shoots we’ve ever come across.
At a cool $300 million for each of the five A350–900s, the cost of the subjects alone totals $1.5 billion dollars. Initial capital aside though, the cost to actually perform the shoot is equally nauseating for us plebs.
According to information we dug up in the A350–900 specifications, just one of these flagship jetliners is capable of consuming 3,500 gallons of fuel per hour of flight time. Multiply that by $3.00 (the going price of jet fuel) and you have a price tag of just over $11,000.
That’s for only one plane though. There were five of them in this shoot, bringing the bill up to $55,000. Include the cost of preparation, pilots, the cost to fuel and operate the two chase planes, and you’re well on your way to a photo shoot that cost around $75,000 for operation alone.
