Boeing BBJ MAX family expands with BBJ MAX 8 order

  1. Boeing BBJ MAX family expands with recent BBJ MAX 8 order


    Boeing Business Jets, the executive jet arm of Boeing has launched the BBJ variant of the Boeing MAX family, the latest addition of its commercial aviation parent company. There has been an order for a MAX 8 variant business jet and as a result the BBJ line will now stretch to incorporate this. BBJ has also decided to add the MAX 9 variant to the BBJ line-up.

    If you are familiar with the BBJ2 the new MAX 8 will feature a cabin of similar size. However, the major distinction will be in the endurance of the new aircraft with a 800 nautical mile greater range than the BBJ2. This will surely appeal to new prospective owners who are looking for extended range as main specification for their mission. Just to be clear, the MAX 8 BBJ will have a range in the region of 6,325 nautical miles.

    The MAX family of Boeing aircraft provides a 14-percent fuel-use improvement, due to its CFM International LEAP-1B engines. “The BBJ MAX provides more room, longer range and emits fewer emissions than its nearest competition,” adds Boeing Business Jets President, Captain Steve Taylor. “We expect a large demand for the BBJ MAX, particularly for those BBJ owners who want to fly farther and more efficiently.”
