Boeing Business Jets returns to the MEBAA Show in Dubai this week to highlight its VIP bizliners.&nbsp;Three BBJs can be found on the MEBAA static display, including two BBJ1s and a larger BBJ2, based on the Boeing 737-700 and -800, respectively.
Dubai-based aircraft brokerage Action Aviation brought its BBJ1 (tail number P4-999) to showcase in partnership with Boeing. Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi-based executive charter provider Royal Jet is displaying the other BBJ1. Royal Jet operates the largest fleet of BBJs in the world and acquired its <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2022-11-03/royal-jet-adds-13th-boeing-bbj-charter-fleet">13th BBJ</a> in 2022.
Monaco-based aircraft broker Opus Aero is exhibiting the BBJ2, which is 19 feet longer and offers 25% more cabin space and double the cargo volume versus the BBJ1. Opus Aero’s 27-passenger aircraft features a private stateroom, complete with an ensuite shower, along with a dining area and lounge.
“Bizliners appeal to clients who value spaciousness and versatility, combined with the comforts of a true home in the sky,” said Wassim Saheb, managing partner of Opus Aero in the Middle East. “This BBJ2 reflects our commitment to offering unmatched aircraft that redefine private travel.”
