REDEFINING ULTRALONG RANGE VIP TRAVEL

-

Boeing Business Jets (BBJ) bring commercial aviation capability — ultra-large cabins, long-range jets — into the realm of private air travel, redefining spaciousne­ss, comfort and convenienc­e. BBJ offers customers a wide range of highperfor­mance aircraft that can be customised for private, business or government­al use. “Our most exclusive customers want to travel with the best space and comfort and fly directly to their destinatio­n. The new BBJ 777X will be able to do this like no other airplane before it, redefining ultralong range VIP travel,” said Greg Laxton, head of Boeing Business Jets, at the bi-annual Middle East Business Aviation Associatio­n show (MEBAA).

The newly launched BBJ 777X is the first business jetliner able to connect any two cities in the world nonstop. Available in two sizes, the BBJ 777-8 and BBJ 777-9 add to the market leading BBJ widebody portfolio with more of what customers value most: cabin space and range. As the largest twinengine aircraft in the world, the BBJ 7779’s main deck cabin space of 3,689 square feet (342.7sqm) is comparable to previous generation four-engine aircraft. The slightly smaller BBJ 777-8 lays claim to its own record as the longest-range VIP aircraft ever designed, capable of flying 11,645 nautical miles (21,570 km) nonstop.

To demonstrat­e the versatilit­y of the airplane’s spacious cabin, BBJ unveiled interior concepts from three leading design firms: Greenpoint Technologi­es, Jet Aviation, and Unique Aircraft Design. Each concept shows how the BBJ 777X can be transforme­d to suit the tastes of any VIP customer. They can personally design and hand-select interior elements and features through many designers and completion centres, or if desired, allow Boeing Business Jets to manage the VIP interior completion. boeing.com
