Ground Force Plan for 'world's coolest office' takes off
Bristol Post
|January 02, 2026
A MAN who built the 'world's coolest Airbnb' from Pablo Escobar's plane is set to open his second Boeing scheme in 2026 - despite fears over 'noisy parties.
Johnny Palmer, 41, created the unique accommodation in the abandoned Boeing 727 plane once owned by the drugs lord to makes guests 'feel like billionaires.
He has since been granted planning permission to carry out a second Boeing project - this time in a bid to create the 'world's coolest office.
Mr Palmer said the plan was for the plane to be transported this month for the work to start on site ahead of an opening of the new space, dubbed Ground Force, in March 2026.
Bristol City Council gave the go-ahead after the scheme received 77 letters of support and 15 objections.
Mr Palmer previously said those objecting to the scheme including concerns over 'noisy parties' on the old Escobar airliner just amounted to personal criticism - and claims he is in the process of creating something special.
