Other nation's equivalent to Air Force One?

Factual Questions
1

I was recently reading an article about the history of Air Force One, the official long distance transport reserved for use by the President of the United States and his closest staff. While the piece was fascinating to me, it started my thinking about what other nations provide for their leader’s long distance official/diplomatic travel needs. What’s Putin or Boris Johnson flying these days? I couldn’t even guess at what King Maha Vajiralongkorn (Thailand) or Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah (Brunei) might have.

There’s no reason to just limit this to aircraft. I’d bet Elizabeth II has something pretty nice in the hangar but I suspect she also has a nice yacht tied up at the docks.

What are our world leaders using for their international travel needs? If it’s more impressive than the standard armored limousine, then I’d kind of like to know about it.

My understanding is that the Kim family in North Korea prefers to travel via armored train.

Putin has a pretty nice yacht, but I don’t think he uses it internationally.

This Wikipedia article provides a pretty exhaustive list:

Here’s the wikipedia article on it:

No. The last royal yacht, the Britannia, was decommissioned in 1997 and is now a museum.

6

And there was a presidential yacht in the US but that was given up some time ago.

Kim Jong Un has flown several times: Will Kim Jong Un use Chinese plane or his own to fly to Vietnam for summit with Trump?

8

And Israel just got a new Air Force 1 (actually, 4X_ISR, not-IDF anything), with new livery!

(FTR, until I looked it up I did not until this post know the word “livery” is a thing for machinery of any sort.)

Wasn’t a Royal Yacht sold to Paul Allen or some crazy-rich Saudi prince or Russian oligarch?

Seems odd that Israel would want to buy and convert a Boeing 767 that had already seen 20 years of flying for this purpose. There would be considerable metal fatigue and the risk of a China Airlines 611 type of accident.

Not so much the age as the pressurization cycles determine the airworthiness of the aircraft.

A 767 being a 2-asile jumbo jet used between hubs might make only two flights a day (6- 7 hours duration). A Southwest 737 might make 6 flights a day or more.

If they don’t intend to fly it all day every day, it’s probably a waste of money to buy a new airframe. When NASA needed a second Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, they bought a 16 year old 747 with 32,000 hours of flight time.

A good example of the difference was the Aloha Air that was only used for shorty island-hopping flights, with multiple take-offs and landing per day.

By the time its roof blew off, it had approximately double the recommended decompression-compression cycles.
