What makes Kim Kardashian’s Kim Air jet a $150 million flying palace during her overseas Lewis Hamilton visit

Kim Kardashian’s recent flight to the UK reignited attention around Kim Air, her custom Gulfstream G650ER that ranks among the most expensive private jets owned by any celebrity. The trip came amid growing reports linking (now confirmed) the reality star to Formula One icon Lewis Hamilton. It has added a fresh intrigue to an already headline driven journey. While the destination sparked interest, the aircraft itself told a deeper story about scale, privacy, and precision luxury.

The jet, acquired in 2022 and later transformed through an extensive redesign. The immersive customization reflects Kardashian’s taste for restraint layered with indulgence. From materials to layout, every choice points to comfort built for long haul travel.

Kim Kardashian owns a Kim Air private jet, and it’s about as luxurious as you’d expect. After purchasing a Gulfstream G650ER for a reported $95 million, she invested another $55 million into a complete overhaul to achieve a jet that mirrors her signature style. Kardashian revealed the details during an episode of The Kardashians, offering rare insight into the transformation. “Usually, planes are dark with lighter leather. Mine, I had custom, all-light wood. I had a bathroom put in the front and a bathroom put in the back. Every seat has its own phone charger,” she explained. The ceilings, seats, headrests, and baggage compartments were all trimmed in cashmere.

As for restrictions are concerned, Kim banned spray tans onboard after an incident involving Kendall Jenner and requires passengers to wear Skims-branded slippers before take-off. At the same time, she customizes the onboard freezer based on guest preferences.

Kardashian is rumored to be in a relationship with F1 legend Lewis Hamilton. According to reports, she flew into the UK for a private weekend that included dinner, spa time, and heavy security. A source told The Sun: “It all appeared to be very romantic. Kim and Lewis made use of all the facilities on offer.”

While Kardashian previously said on The Tonight Show, “I haven’t had time, I’m studying,” reports now suggest the dynamic has shifted. TMZ later reported the two appeared together at Super Bowl LX, marking their most public moment yet.
