BOEING BBJ 737-800
Boeing BBJ2 (737-800)
The Stretch with More Space
In 2001, Boeing introduced the BBJ2 — the corporate version of the 737-800 with 19% more cabin space than the original BBJ. The BBJ2 offered the same range with more room — appealing to operators who prioritized space over ultimate distance.
Specifications That Extended the Cabin
• Range: 10,205 km (5,510 nm) — slightly less than BBJ due to weight • Speed: 870 km/h (470 knots) — Mach 0.785 cruise • Capacity: 25 – 50 passengers in the extended cabin • Cabin: 39.5 m length — 19% more than BBJ • Engines: CFM56-7B — same proven powerplants
The BBJ2 became popular with corporate shuttle operators and governments needing to move large groups in comfort.
The Market Today
Pre-owned Boeing BBJ2 aircraft trade between $45M and $75M — premium for the extra space. Operating costs: $13,000 – 19,000 per hour — reasonable for the capacity.
The Verdict
The Boeing BBJ2 is the aircraft that proved space matters. It offers BBJ reliability with more room to work, rest, and entertain.
For the buyer seeking a BBJ2, you're acquiring the stretched original — the aircraft that says "more is more".
