Boeing Business Jets (BBJ), have announced the order of a BBJ 777-300ER (Extended Range) airplane to an undisclosed customer. The BBJ 777-300ER has a cabin size of 3,641 square feet (338 square meters) with a range capability of 9,220 nautical miles (17,075 kilometers).
Boeing Business Jets delivers the VIP airplane to customers without customized interiors, where an approved completion center of the customer’s choosing installs the jet’s VIP interior.
“2014 continues to be a positive year for BBJ with strong order activity,” said Capt. Steve Taylor, president, Boeing Business Jets. “Customers are showing strong interest in our wide-body VIP products and the BBJ 777-300ER is an airplane that really provides unmatched comfort and range on long-haul flights.”
This is the second widebody order for BBJ this year further demonstrating Boeing’s dominance in the VIP widebody jet market.
