Boeing BBJ Aircraft

The Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) is the airliner-derived ultra-large-cabin private jet — a 737-family (or widebody, on larger BBJs) airframe fitted with auxiliary fuel tanks for intercontinental range and a bespoke VVIP interior. It is a head-of-state and ultra-high-net-worth transport offering a cabin no purpose-built business jet can match. Each is a specialist completion defined by its interior and program status.
