Boeing BBJ 737 Max

Two figures put the BBJ 737 Max at the top of this category and of the fleet behind it. The cabin runs 1,180 in — longer than any other aircraft we charter, against the ACJ 320neo's 1,069 in that follows it — and range is 6,600 nm, the furthest of the six VIP airliners. Cabin height is 85 in and top speed 453 kt. Boeing still builds the type. What that combination describes is an airliner given over to one party for a sector that would otherwise be flown by a scheduled carrier, with the cabin arranged for the group rather than for a seat map.

Several specifications for this aircraft are not recorded in our fleet data, and this page will not estimate them: cabin width, baggage volume, runway requirement and passenger capacity are all unverified, so no figure is offered for any of them. The capacity gap in particular is deliberate — a VIP airliner is configured to its owner's brief rather than to a fixed layout, and quoting a number we cannot source would be worse than naming the limit. What is verified is the length, the reach and the height, and on a delegation charter those are the three that shape the day.
