Pfizer's Corporate Jets Being Sold – Here’s a Quick Look Inside

Today the big move is to not have big luxury jets as we all remember from a few months ago with the US Auto makers. It appears big pharma is moving in the same direction. You have to admit though, they look nice, but 65 million is a big price tag.

As everyone is scaling down and looking at costs, it appears the luxury travel jets are moving to the chopping blocks as more drugs keep nearing patent expirations too. BD

Pfizer is selling two of its corporate jets for $65 million, according to CityFile. This is a popular move among drug companies — putting the private aircraft up for sale makes you look more frugal and less excessive in a recession. As you can see from this image of the inside of one of the jets — it’s a nice ride.

There’s a difference between putting them up for sale and actually selling them, of course. It’s not clear who in this environment would want to buy them. Nonetheless, Bristol-Myers Squibb did the same thing with its fleet.

In terms of amenities, Pfizer’s Gulfstream G550 does have a DVD player, but no Iron Man-style stripper pole (pictured). By comparison, the Gulfstream V has “dual coffee makers.”
