Private Air to take first 787 BBJ
PrivatAir has ordered the first 787 Boeing Business Jet but has yet to decide whether to use the widebody for executive charter services, corporate shuttle

PrivatAir has ordered the first 787 Boeing Business Jet but has yet to decide whether to use the widebody for executive charter services, corporate shuttle operations or scheduled all-business-class flights on behalf of an airline. The Swiss group is set to receive the aircraft in 2012, by which time it will have decided on the cabin configuration and selected a completions supplier. Lufthansa Technik, which has recently unveiled its plans for VIP 787 interior designs, has worked on several PrivatAir jets.

The Geneva-based charter and management firm already operates three BBJs, a BBJ2, a newly acquired VIP 767 and a 757, as well as four Airbus Corporate Jetliners. The company operates all-business-class transatlantic scheduled services on behalf of flag carriers Lufthansa and Swiss.
