The captivating video showcasing Sky Cruise, an AI-managed airborne hotel envisioned by Hashem Al-Ghaili, has mesmerized countless viewers. This futuristic aircraft is equipped with 20 electric engines and has the remarkable capability to transport 5,000 passengers continuously without the need for landings.
Al-Ghaili dubs the Sky Cruise aircraft as the future of transportation, outlining a vision where traditional airlines will shuttle passengers to the Sky Cruise, an airborne entity that never touches the ground. Additionally, all maintenance and repairs are envisioned to be conducted while the aircraft is in flight, adding to its innovative and groundbreaking features.

When asked how many pilots it would take to fly the Sky Cruise, Al-Ghaili responded: “All this technology and you still want pilots? I believe it will be fully autonomous.” The concept of a flying hotel has Ьаffɩed viewers. Although all that is good and well, the Sky Cruise would still require quite a few staff members because it would also have a huge shopping mall, as well as a swimming pool, gym, and cinema.
According to a video posted on YouTube by Al-Ghaili entitled Sky Cruise: A Futuristic Hotel Above the Clouds, the plane towers over normal-size aircraft and seems to be the ideal venue for an event. While a launch date of the flying hotel is yet to be announced, not everyone is keen on Al-Ghaili’s idea, with one person writing in the comment section below his video: Great idea putting a nᴜсɩeаг reactor in something that could malfunction and fаɩɩ oᴜt of the sky.
