Overview

• BBJ will locate and acquire in-service 747-8s, oversee custom interior completions, and deliver aircraft with overhauled engines under one agreement.
• Each project is managed by a dedicated BBJ team that provides design oversight, completion management, entry-into-service assistance, and access to Boeing parts and maintenance expertise.
• The 747-8 VIP offers roughly 5,000-plus square feet of cabin space for up to 75 passengers and an advertised range around 8,500–8,875 nautical miles enabling nonstop city pairs such as New York–Bangkok or Dubai–Los Angeles.
• With 747 production ending in 2023, Boeing will source existing 747-8 airframes for refurbishment rather than build new aircraft.
• Boeing has not disclosed turnkey pricing or firm delivery timelines, with industry references noting a green 747-8 at about $367 million and typical VIP completions taking an estimated 24–36 months.
