Air transports for heads of state and government are, in many countries, provided by the air force in specially equipped airliners or business jets. One such aircraft in particular has become part of popular culture: Air Force One, used by the President of the United States and operated by the United States Air Force. Other well known official aircraft include the Russian presidential aircraft, the Royal Air Force VIP aircraft, the Royal Canadian Air Force VIP aircraft for the Prime Minister of Canada and the cabinet ,the German Konrad Adenauer, Royal Australian Airforce VIP aircraft, the Japanese Air Force One, the Korean Code One, Air India One, and the Brazilian Air Force One. Another well known means of transportation for world leaders is by helicopter. Helicopters are seen as not only cheaper and more cost effective but also more convenient than a motorcade. These include the US President's Marine One, the South Korean Presidential Helicopter, and the Brazilian Presidential Helicopter. If officials do not have their own aircraft or if their VIP aircraft are under maintenance, then they would occasionally hire private jets. If that is the case, a flag/coat of arms decal/sticker would be added on near the door.
