The Aeroloft™ provides luxurious cabin accommodation for guests and is designed by Greenpoint Technologies. With the Aeroloft™ installed, it provides 393 square feet of additional space making a total of 5,179 square feet.

    Boeing and Greenpoint Technologies have worked together in the past for more than ten years developing VIP interior solutions for private and Head-of-State customers. According to BBJ President, Capt. Steve Taylor, "the Aeroloft is one of the more innovative and exciting projects on which we've collaborated with Greenpoint," said Taylor. "We're certain all the BBJ 747-8 customers receiving the Aeroloft will be thrilled with this unique and comfortable space."

    Following a small ceremony in Wichita, Kansas with the airplane's undisclosed customer, the BBJ 747-8 was flown by Capt. Taylor and BBJ chief pilot, Capt. Rene Gonzales, to Lufthansa Technik in Hamburg, Germany for completion of its VIP interior. This Boeing 747-8 VIP is scheduled to enter service in 2014. Two additional BBJ 747-8s are to be fitted with Greenpoint's Aeroloft™ are scheduled to deliver in 2012. To date, nine of these Boeing 747-8 VIPs have been sold to Heads of State clients.
