Though not part of the Amiri fleet, a Boeing 747SP and fourth Boeing 747-8 were operated for the Qatari elite until 2016 and 2018, respectively. Both were registered in Bermuda through the company Worldwide Aircraft Holding.The 747SP had previously flown for United and Pan American. It was acquired by CSDS Aircraft and is currently stored at Pinal Airpark. The Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani gifted the Boeing 747-8 to Turkey in September 2018. This proved controversial in Turkey due to the sheer cost of the plane.
The BBJ 747-8 registered as A7-HHE was the first aircraft of its type to be delivered, on 28 February 2012. The BBJ 747-8 is the largest VIP aircraft ever built.
