Very VIP Jets: Boeing Business Jets Sales Sky High

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • Boeing Business Jets (BBJ) has proven highly successful, expanding its lineup from initial 737 models to include 757, 747-8 VIP, and 787 VIP aircraft.
  • A new 737 variant, the BBJC, will feature a large side door for quick conversion between passenger, cargo, or medical configurations, particularly appealing for government and humanitarian missions.
  • Demand for BBJ aircraft is exceptionally strong across all models, leading to significant order backlogs and limited availability with long wait times for new deliveries.

Several years ago when Boeing launched its bizjet spinoff, nobody knew whether the idea of taking a commercial jet and reworking it for the business/VIP market would work. There is no longer any question about it. Since the launch of its business, Boeing Business Jets has expanded its lineup to include two other models of 737 to create the BBJ2 and BBJ3.

This past year the company has folded-in several more commercial models, including the 757 and the emerging 747-8 jumbo jet and the 787 composite construction Dreamliner.
