Boeing Business Jet
The Boeing Business Jet is a 737 delivered without interior furnishings, for the customer to fit out as a corporate or VIP airplane. Boeing launched it in 1996 as a joint venture with General Electric. The first model, the BBJ, is a 737-700 with the 737-800's landing gear, weights and performance; the BBJ 2, announced in October 1999, is based on the 737-800 and has 25 percent more cabin space and twice the cargo space. Both have winglets and can carry auxiliary fuel tanks in the lower cargo holds for longer range. They file flight plans under the 737-700 and 737-800 type codes. This site lists them with specifications only and no flight data.
