Designed to fly upwards of 4,000 hours per year, BBJs provide far higher reliability and retain more residual value compared to competitors.

BBJ 737-7: 

As the longest-range, non-widebody business jet in its class, the BBJ 737 MAX can fly 6,600 nautical miles (12,200 km) nonstop to connect global hubs such as Geneva and Singapore.

With enhanced efficiency, the BBJ 737-7 reduces emissions and fuel use while lowering operating costs.

BBJ 787-8: 

With its visionary composite airframe, the BBJ 787 Dreamliner delivers fuel savings with a range up to 9,945 nautical miles (18,420 km).

Along with improved environmental performance, the Dreamliner’s lower cabin altitude, increased cabin air humidity and advanced smooth ride technology to counter the effects of turbulence, work together to significantly enhance passenger comfort.

BBJ 777-9: 

The BBJ 777X is the first business jet capable of connecting any two cities in the world nonstop, flying up to 11,025 nautical miles (20,418 km).

Engineering design improvements and innovative new technologies, including a new carbon-fiber composite wing and all-new engines, improve environmental performance.

Like the BBJ 787 Dreamliner, the BBJ 777X offers leading-edge cabin comfort technologies.
