The Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) is celebrating its 15th anniversary, but the 747-8 Intercontinental VIP, Boeing’s executive-configured jumbo jet, stole the show at the BBJ press conference at EBACE yesterday. Company president Steve Taylor provided attendees with a thumbnail history and current state of the BBJ program, and an update on the 747-8 and 787 VIP delivery schedules.

Thus far a total of 207 BBJs have been sold, Taylor said, adding, “I think the most significant thing is our backlog of 37 airplanes,” which represents $5.4 billion (U.S.) in orders.
