Boeing Business Jets Announces Four New BBJ MAX 8 Orders

Deal Highlights Strong Sales And Deliveries In 2015

Boeing Business Jets on Monday announced orders for four new BBJ MAX 8 airplanes at the National Business Aviation Association Convention and Exhibition in Las Vegas. The first order to an undisclosed customer based in the Middle East is for three BBJ MAX 8s. The second order for an undisclosed customer in Asia is for one BBJ MAX 8.

"2015 has been a really strong year for Boeing Business Jets. We have sold seven aircraft and we are not done yet," said David Longridge, president, Boeing Business Jets. "The BBJ MAX is doing really well with nine orders already on the books for both BBJ MAX 8s and BBJ MAX 9s. The 737 MAX program is on track for first flight scheduled in early 2016. We know the MAX will be a great airplane for our VIP customers."

In addition to a strong backlog, 2015 has been a successful year for green deliveries and completed aircraft entering into service. Boeing Business Jets will end the year with 11 green aircraft deliveries to completion centers.

Seven completed airplanes entered into service this year; four BBJs and three BBJ 747-8s. Additionally, the first BBJ completed by Sabena Technics, managed by Boeing Business Jets as a turnkey airplane, will enter into service.

"Boeing Business Jets and Sabena technics worked together to develop a great product. As a turnkey airplane, BBJ managed the completion process and worked with Sabena technics directly and the outcome was fantastic. By the end of the year we will deliver the airplane to a very happy customer ahead of schedule, under budget and with a cabin substantially lighter than contracted, allowing better performance and further range of operations," said Longridge.

Boeing Business Jets offers a wide variety of ultra-large-cabin, long-range airplanes perfectly suited for the private jet market. The product line includes high-performance derivatives of the commercially successful 737NG, 737 MAX, 787, 777 and 747-8 programs.

Customers have ordered 235 Boeing Business Jets and 213 aircraft have delivered since 1996 when BBJ was formed.
