Boeing Business Jet (BBJ)

Introduction & Fun Facts

The Boeing Business Jet, commonly known as BBJ, is derived from the Boeing 737 family and designed to provide airliner-level range and reliability in a bespoke VIP configuration. Since its introduction in 1996, the BBJ has become a benchmark in the ultra-large cabin jet segment, often chosen by governments, royal families and multinational corporations.

What sets the BBJ apart is its exceptional cabin space, allowing for fully customizable interiors with private bedrooms, boardrooms, dining rooms and lounges. Its intercontinental range makes it a true alternative to widebody VIP airliners, while being more economical to operate than larger aircraft like the Boeing 747 or Airbus ACJ330.
