First BBJ2 For China Delivered To Completion Center

Five Boeing Business Jets have entered service in China in the last year where the market for ultra-long range business jets continues to grow, Boeing announced Monday at the Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (ABACE).

“China continues to be a strong market for us as more Chinese companies increase their international presence,” said Capt. Steve Taylor, president, Boeing Business Jets. “The BBJ is the right business tool for this market with the range capability to go farther non-stop, and the size for large business teams to travel more comfortably.”

BBJ had a big year in China with five BBJs entering service since ABACE 2013 last April; two new BBJs and three pre-owned jets. In addition, three more BBJs for Chinese customers were delivered to completion centers, including the first BBJ2 for the China region. The order book for Chinese customers increased by two in the same timeframe.
 
Taylor also announced BBJ’s worldwide orders and deliveries. In total, the program has booked orders for 216 airplanes and delivered 195 since launching in 1996.
