Commonwealth One

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Commonwealth One is the Callsign of the Governor-General, members of the Royal Family or the Prime Minister when they are on a RAAF aircraft.

The RAAF currently use two Boeing Business Jets which are custom configured Boeing 737's fitted with facilities such as conference tables, offices suites, secure satellite and communication capabilities. The two planes have a longer range than is standard for Boeing Business Jets. The Prime Minister regularly uses the jets for both domestic and international travel.

Prior to the acquisition of the 737s, the Prime Minister flew in custom-configured Royal Australian Air Force Boeing 707s. These aircraft were larger than the 737s currently in use. The Royal Australian Airforce also operates a fleet of VIP Bombardier Challenger aircraft.
