Boris Johnson’s £75m ‘Brexit jet’ provided by the same company running red list quarantine hotels

The i says a second official VIP “Brexit jet” painted in Union flag livery will cost taxpayers up to £75m over the next five years after it was sourced via the same company in charge of Britain’s Covid hotel quarantine system.

The Cabinet Office yesterday confirmed the £15m per annum cost of the 11-month-old Airbus A321 which is to be used to ferry Prime Minister Boris Johnson, senior ministers and the Royal Family on official engagements around the globe.

The jet, which would have cost just £79m over its lifetime if bought outright from Airbus, was acquired via a contract awarded to a subsidiary of Corporate Travel Management Ltd (CTM), the Australian-based company which is also in charge of overseeing the controversial Covid hotel quarantine system which charges £1,750 per adult to house arrivals in Britain from red list countries.
