BBJ2 (737-800)

The Boeing (BBJ) BBJ2 (737-800) offers a maximum range of about 10,186 km (5,500 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.

The cabin seats up to 30 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.

As a guide, chartering an aircraft in this segment (vip airliner) runs around €24,000 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.

The Boeing (BBJ) BBJ2 (737-800) is no longer produced, but remains actively operated on charter. Aircraft offered for charter are operated by ARGUS Gold or Wyvern Wingman certified carriers, a guarantee of high safety and maintenance standards whatever the aircraft's age. Availability varies by region and season, so the specific tail offered may differ in age, cabin and configuration; our advisors confirm the exact aircraft, its photos and amenities with every firm quote. To charter it, a single request returns the available aircraft, their operators and a firm all-in price, which you can compare before committing.
