When a jumbo jet dies, it¢s usually sold for scrap or something. But Swedish entrepreneur Oscar Dios has a better idea for the 30-year-old junker he bought. He turned it into a hotel. Boeing 747, dubbed Jumbo Hostel, is parked outside Stockholm¢s Arlanda Airport.

The plane had been abandoned for six years, after flying for Singapore Airlines, Panama and the Swedish leasing company Transnet, ever since 1976.

Since it was taking up a lot of space, something had to be done about it, so Dios¢ idea was accepted immediately. The Jumbo Hostel can accommodate 74 people, at the moment, in 25 simple, 70¢s style rooms. The jet¢s upper deck has been transformed into a conference hall, while the cockpit has been converted into a wedding chapel.
