Reality TV royalty Paris Hilton is sliving the good life aboard a private jet that couldn’t be more her if it tried. A sky-high embodiment of the hotel heiress, the aircraft, a 43rd birthday gift from her husband, Carter Reum, became Barbie’s dream jet come to life.
The Gulfstream G450 underwent a year-long makeover to become pretty, aka Paris-worthy, and was christened ‘Sliv Air.’ There is plenty to discuss about the exteriors of this aircraft, designed by Sarah Mespelt Larrañaga, a Marina Del Rey, Calif.–based aviation designer before we peek indoors.
The burst of pink you’re met with on the exterior is replicated inside. The entire aircraft is emblazoned with Paris’s one-liners, her lingo, and her personality. Case in point: her initials on the body of the plane, “That’s hot” written on the tail, “Sliv Air” on the belly, and “Paris xoxo,” so mere mortals on Earth can watch this heiress flying above their heads. It goes down to the most indiscernible detail, like the registration N11PH, where the “PH” tail code is a sly nod to her initials.
We could talk about the more essential specs of the G450, which boasts a cruise speed of Mach 0.74 and a range of about 4,350 nautical miles, capable of nonstop flights from Los Angeles to New York or Miami to London, but this post is really not about performance. It’s about prettiness, and that, Sliv Air has aplenty. Let’s soar into the absolute outlandish, outstanding, and opulent world of Paris Hilton.
Flying 30,000 feet in the air in true Paris-ian style-
The 45-foot-long cabin flaunts a generous ceiling height of 6 feet, 2 inches, which the designer turned into a pink planet owing to the owner’s tastes. As a result, the headliner is enhanced by the presence of pink hummingbirds, the carpet glistens with sparkles, and the space is cozy with newly built four-passenger divans and a dazzling lighting system with seven shades of pink. The comfortable seats and six executive seats come with Aeristo leather inserts, pink piping, and embossed logos.
The First Lady of Sliving, Paris, has her airborne throne reserved for her, with her name embroidered on her permanent seat. If this level of detail has you feeling dizzy, I’d like to break it to you, we are only halfway done.
Innumerable details, dipped in pink and Paris-approved-
Paris truly loves herself, and it is evident in Paris Hilton heart-shaped champagne flutes, Sliv Air custom china, crystal, and flatware. Making other business jets seem like dormitories, Sliv Air ups the ante with a full-service galley that features gloss-white cabinetry, contemporary appliances, and a bespoke refrigerator to store Hilton’s branded ice eye masks from her label, Parisié Beauty cosmetics.
Even Prince Tokyo Gizmo Hilton, the celebrity’s teacup Chihuahua, received his own matching dog bed. So if you’re lucky enough to befriend the pop culture princess, you will find yourself at the receiving end of a Paris recording that mentions that “every seat is first class and the vibes are always immaculate” because “you have a lot of choices when it comes to air travel, but none of them is this iconic.” And honestly, she’s not wrong.
Sliv Air comes wired with top-tier tech and Paris-powered performance-
The full-scale interior and exterior aircraft refurbishment required seven months of planning, design, and materials selection, and five months for completion and painting at Springfield, IL-based Standard Aero. But beyond the pink, that’s now classified by the paint manufacturer PPG as “Paris Pink”, the aircraft boasts some stellar equipment and technology, like new Honeywell avionics in the reconfigured cockpit, the latest Starlink satellite system, and an advanced cabin-management system (CMS).
The experience of Sliv Air is as top-notch as the owner, allowing passengers to control audio/video, lighting, and other cabin systems via touch screens at their seats. Only Paris could’ve arranged for a private 4K theater in the sky. Proof that no one slives quite like Paris!
