Inside Kim Kardashian's all cashmere private plane to celebrate life post-Kanye West

Kim Kardashian gave fans a tour of her new custom private plane before taking off on her maiden voyage in the latest episode of The Kardashians.

The 41-year-old beauty mogul took a group of friends on her luxurious jet for the first time while heading to the Dominican Republic for her Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover shoot.

Stepping into the palatial plane for the first time, Kim gave the Hulu cameras a tour as she highlighted her own personal touches to the custom décor.

Kim told the cameras: “It's so pretty. I never dreamed I would own a plane. I wanted it to feel like an extension of me and an extension of my home.”

The Créme colour used in the plane – which seats 18 passengers – is the same one used in Kim's own home.

She welcomed her select friends on to ‘Kim Air’, saying: “Usually planes are dark with lighter leather. I had custom all-light wood, I had a bathroom put in the front, a bathroom in the back. Every seat has its own phone charger.”

She then added: “The best, most exciting part of the plane is it's all cashmere - ceiling, pillows, headrests,” as the cameras closed in on the beige cashmere lining every available surface.

As her friends boarded the flight, Kim joked that she couldn’t “touch a thing” or even “breath” on her newly furnished airliner.

She also explained her plans for a “no shoes” rule on the plane, saying she would instead have custom SKIMS pyjamas, socks, blankets and slippers for all her passengers.

At one point before take-off, boyfriend Pete Davidson called Kim and she gave him a tour of the plane via FaceTime in which she honed in on the two beds in the back of the plane that can be converted into a single king bed.

She told the Hulu cameras: “I feel like I'm in a really good place. It all started when I did this solo Balenciaga campaign and then my Vogue cover and now Sports Illustrated. It's so cool. It's such a moment.

“It just feels like I'm embarking on a new journey. This is the year about me and to do what I want and what makes me happy. It almost feels like a dream come true.”

Towards the end of The Kardashians episodes, one of the flight attendants approaches Kim and says they have “a special surprise that was brought from Pete for you, for the plane,” but viewers aren’t shown what it is.

“Oh my God! Shut up! These are my favourite,” Kim is heard saying, as the episode comes to an end.

Kim was first spotted publicly on her private jet in late February, when she was seen arriving in Los Angeles from Milan.

The plane is a Gulfstream G65OER, which has a base price of $95 million, though TMZ confirmed that Kardashian had the jet built from scratch to her bespoke specifications.
