The existing 747 official plane used for official visit by Japanese emperor & Prime Minister will come to end of service life by March 2011 (2 more months) and there is insufficient budget with the current Japanese Govt to purchase any new replacement for it under the present scenario of economy.

國庫拮据 日本無錢汰換天皇首相等專機

<label> </label> 更新日期:<q>2011/01/30 13:35</q>
日本供天皇和首相出訪用的政府專機,即將在三月屆齡,必須退役,但是國庫窘迫,沒有錢購買新的飛機。
日本政府專機有兩架,都是波音747型,其中一架專用,一架備用,它主要是供天皇、皇太子以及首相出國訪問的時候使用。這兩架飛機的使用年限都將在三月截止;可是因為財政拮据,日本政府現在還找不到錢購買新機。四月以後,日皇和首相出訪,可能就會面臨沒有專機可坐的窘境。
首相菅直人擔心在國家經濟困難的現在,花大錢購買專機可能會引發民意反彈,他考慮用租借的方式取代購買。這件事情還需要相關部會討論之後,才能定案。
