GENEVA, May 22, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] announced today orders for
up to four premium, ultra-long-range Boeing Business Jets (BBJ).
The orders to undisclosed VIP customers include two BBJ 787-8s, one
BBJ 737-7 jet and an option to purchase a BBJ 777-9. The company
shared the 2023 orders at the European Business Aviation Convention
& Exhibition (EBACE) in Switzerland.
"With the right combination of comfort, performance and
best-in-class operating economics, the BBJ family offers VIP
customers all the features they are looking for in a business jet,"
said Joe Benson, BBJ president.
"Designed on the platforms of Boeing's best-selling commercial
airframes, customers recognize the value in operating the most
reliable and capable jets in world."
Equipped with the latest innovations and technologies of
Boeing's commercial airplanes, the enhanced environmental
performance of the BBJ family reduces fuel use compared to previous
generations of each aircraft. The jets provide customers with a
unique combination of globe-spanning range, efficiency and
passenger comfort.
- BBJ 737-7: As the longest-range, non-widebody business
jet in its class, the BBJ 737 MAX can fly 6,600 nautical miles
(12,200 km) nonstop to connect global hubs such as Geneva and Singapore. With enhanced efficiency, the BBJ
737-7 reduces emissions and fuel use while lowering operating
costs.
- BBJ 787-8: With its visionary composite airframe, the
BBJ 787 Dreamliner delivers fuel savings with a range up to 9,945
nautical miles (18,420 km). Along with improved environmental
performance, the Dreamliner's lower cabin altitude, increased cabin
air humidity and advanced smooth ride technology to counter the
effects of turbulence, work together to significantly enhance
passenger comfort.
- BBJ 777-9: The BBJ 777X is the first business jet
capable of connecting any two cities in the world nonstop, flying
up to 11,025 nautical miles (20,418 km). Engineering design
improvements and innovative new technologies, including a new
carbon-fiber composite wing and all-new engines, improve
environmental performance. Like the BBJ 787 Dreamliner, the BBJ
777X offers leading-edge cabin comfort technologies.
The best-in-class operating economics of the BBJ family strongly
position the jets in the business aviation market. Designed to fly
upwards of 4,000 hours per year, BBJs provide far higher
reliability and retain more residual value compared to competitors.
Supported by Boeing's global network of services, parts and
maintenance, the jets can also be serviced globally with customers
benefitting from reduced parts and training costs.

Business Jets is the industry-leading VIP jet division that brings
the best of commercial aviation into the realm of personal air
travel. With a wide range of high-performance aircraft, the jets
