The purchase of this AIRBUS was controversial: bought under the French Presidency of President SARKOZY to the company "AIR CARAIBES", it was entirely refitted. For a purchase of 50 million euros before tax, the equipment inside with means of telecommunications, new engines and interior fittings made the price rise to more than 95 million euros before tax. It was nicknamed at the beginning "Air Sarko One"...

It's worth noting that the French Presidency has used a Presidential supersonic aircraft, the CONCORDE, which was used from 1981 to 1995 by French President François MITTERRAND for long-haul flights. 

This aircraft can fly at 2,000 kilometers/hour.
