The Boeing (BBJ) BBJ 737 MAX 8 offers a maximum range of about 12,297 km (6,640 nautical miles). This figure reflects a typical load; the real passenger count, baggage and wind conditions reduce effective range. Like any aircraft in its segment (vip airliner), it reaches that range at a high cruise speed, which determines the city pairs it can link directly. In practice, an aircraft of this segment places intercontinental pairs such as Paris–New York or London–Dubai within non-stop reach, subject to payload and weather on the day.
How many passengers can it carry?
The cabin seats up to 25 passengers in maximum configuration. and 2.16 m of height, the real layout often favours space and comfort over seat count. Most charter configurations slightly reduce capacity to gain living zones, a lounge or a night area depending on the segment. Beyond seat count, the standing room, galley and baggage hold shape the real experience: a vip airliner typically offers a full galley, a private lavatory and often berthable seating or a dedicated rest area for the route.
What is the indicative charter cost?
Per published broker ranges, chartering an aircraft in this segment (vip airliner) runs between €13,850 and €19,900 per hour all-in, excluding variable landing fees by destination. The real rate depends on the specific aircraft, availability, season and empty repositioning distance. A quote request returns a firm all-in price within sixty minutes. The figure is for the whole aircraft, not per seat, and includes crew, fuel and standard handling; an empty-leg repositioning flight in the same category can cut it sharply when the dates align. A two-hour minimum applies.
