In this industry, an airplane with a for sale sign never seems all that odd. When the airplane turns out to be a relatively new Boeing Business Jet—a BBJ 787 Dreamliner no less—people tend to pay attention. Boeing Business Jets are usually purchased for senior executive or VIP transportation and, with a list price north of $200 million a copy, owning a BBJ 787 is not for everyone. There are fewer than half a dozen BBJ 787s in service. There’s an international sales deal cooking, however, to entice just the right buyer for a slightly used BBJ 787 in case one of our readers is interested.
Mexico Still Trying to Sell the Presidential Boeing
Key Takeaways:
- The Mexican government is trying to sell a luxurious, custom-built Boeing Business Jet (BBJ 787 Dreamliner), a high-end executive aircraft, but is struggling to find a buyer.
- President Andrés Manuel López Obrador ordered the sale of the presidential jet in 2018, deeming it too ostentatious for the country's leader.
- Despite a significant drop in value from over $200 million to about $130 million, and attempts to entice buyers with unconventional offers (like trading for medical equipment with the U.S.), the unique aircraft remains unsold a year later.
