Tony Blair - No Air Force One equilivant?

[Pepper]

A few days ago it was reported that the British Airways plane carrying Tony Blair & family overshot the runway at Miami airport.

I am shocked that Tony Blair flies commercial. Even Oprah has her own plane. I guess I thought most heads of state had their own private jets at their disposal.

Question to our British members here.......Does Tony Blair always fly commercial, or only when he is going on vacation? When he is on official business, what kind of aircraft does he use? Doesn't Britian have an equilivant of Air Force One?

No Tony Blair does not have his own Jet, there is more interest over him & his family taking another 'Freebie holiday' at the ex Bee Gees mansion in Miami.
