A VIP airline is an airline which operates planes equipped in a luxurious manner (wood trim and paneling, for example), typically with drastically reduced seating numbers, partitioned sections (separated from each other) for privacy, seats facing each other with a table between. Seating tends to be larger so one seat per side where often there would be three (on a standard aircraft). Seating tends not to be in rows but in a more spacious lounge arrangement with no particular order. Such planes can often have televisions and telephones. VIP flights are all chartered and are typically used by VIP clients or businesses.
