Boeing · VVIP airliner
Boeing BBJ
The aircraft that invented the category — a Boeing 737 completed as a flying residence.
Nineteen to fifty travellers who need airliner space completed to private standards.
The Boeing Business Jet created VIP-airliner travel: a 737-700 fuselage on the stronger 737-800 wing, auxiliary tanks lifting range beyond 6,000 nautical miles, and 807 square feet of cabin completed to order — boardroom, lounges, master suite, and two bathrooms with showers, under seven feet of standing height.
A hundred and thirteen were built, and they charter today through a small pool of specialist operators — several in the Gulf — carrying the parties a business jet cannot: delegations, sports teams, touring productions, and families who simply prefer rooms to seats.

Frequently asked
How many passengers does a BBJ carry?
Typical VVIP completions seat nineteen to twenty-five in rooms — boardroom, lounges, master suite — while corporate-shuttle layouts run to fifty. It is the aircraft for the party a business jet cannot hold.
How far can a BBJ fly?
With auxiliary tanks, around 6,200 nautical miles lightly loaded — Perth–Dubai and every Australia–Asia pairing non-stop. Sydney–Dubai plans a technical stop; the 737's global support network makes routing effortless almost anywhere.
How much does a BBJ cost to charter?
VVIP airliners are quoted entirely to mission — aircraft, completion standard, crew complement and routing all move the figure. We source from the specialist operators directly and return a firm, all-inclusive quotation with honest alternatives.
