Boeing Business Jet Interior Photos

The first Boeing 787 VIP business jet in the world.

Deer Jet, a Chinese HNA Group company, will receive a new Boeing 787-8 privat jet next week. The 787 Boeing Business Jet, as previously engineered, has a cruising distance of nearly 9,800 mph, even when equipped with 40 passenger, baggage and petrol. Stephen Vella, CEO of Kestrel Aviation Management, said to business insiders, "With a flight duration of approximately 17 hrs, the aircraft can fly to practically any location on the planet.

Kestrel aviation was in charge of the production of this 787 from beginning to end. Though several 787s have been switched from personal transport to personal use, this is the first Dreamliner specifically designed as a BBJ, Vella said. This is the 133rd Dreamliner, which comes from the Boeing plant and was flown for the first time in December 2013.

Delivery of the airplane to Kestrel took place in January 2014. As no one had ever built a real Boeing 787 Privatjet before, Kestrel, together with Pierrejean and Greenpoint, had to redesign and construct the interior of the airplane from the ground up. Indeed, it took a year for the interior to be completed and installed, and a year and a half, Vella said.

A Boeing 787 BBJ is not exactly inexpensive. Boeing 787-8's basic model has a listed cost of 224.6 million US dollars, while the modification contributes a further 100 million US dollars to the cost. The Boeing 787 BBJ is scheduled to go into operation at the HNA Group in July. Vella expects the aircraft to be used by both the company's CEO and ultra-high-end charterers.

Here is a more detailed view of the first Boeing 787-8 BBJ:

In the interior of the $400 million Royal Boeing Business Jet of Qatar

Probably the most luxurious Boeing business jets in the globe, they have long been a destination for Boeing billiard and royalty aircraft in equal measure. A number of press releases indicate that the Qatari Royal Family is reselling a 747-8 Boeing Business Jet, which it received in 2015. With only 403 flying time, the aircraft is in near perfect working order and a scarce chance for anyone to get their hands aboard a regal aircraft.

Though no list prize was set on the BBJ's on-line advertising, it is known that Boeing is charging $402. 9 million for this plane model, ten million would then have to be added to the prize to transform it into the 445 sq.m. airfield it is.

As one of two Boeing 747-8s allegedly belonging to the Royal Family of Qatar, the airplane is now looking for a new ownership, as the Qatari are allegedly on the scene for a new airplane. The BBJ is subdivided into several living areas, one on the ground floor and one on the upper floor, and has a large sleeping room seating area and a dining room with 14 seats.

The 747-8 has the capability to transport up to 76 V.I.P. and 18 flight crews in comparison to 467 carrying them in a business environment. The 747-8i covers an area of over 450 m² from a lay-out point of view. In addition to a main room, a dining desk and a home offices, the plane has 3 areas of use and 8 baths in a medicinal area.

The BBJ, which was parking in Switzerland at the moment of the launch, is likely to find a purchaser among the UMNWIs due to its UHNWI configurations. Indeed, in the first instance the airline would have to make a payment for the additional adjustment at the point of sale only to re-equip the aircraft for business use, which would make it a difficult buy for them.

However, the inclusion of one of their flagships on the market is not unusual for the Qatari royal family, who are likely to be upgrading their fleets in the near term. By April 2016, the Royal Family had already offered for purchase one of their older Boeing 747 business jet aircraft.

The 747, lacquered in Qatar's own colors, had begun its existence as a Pan Am aircraft before it was bought by the Al Thani reigning dynasty in 1995 and converted into a chief of state owned jet aircraft. Later, in 2004, the jet was rebuilt and also features a main room, boardroom, home offices, lounges and a number of standard seating areas.

The business jet could accommodate up to 89 guests in its configurations with 12 VVIP seating, 18 business class seats and 31 cottages. The business jet was rated almost 25 million dollars by analysts at the start due to its old age. However, the business jet was not rated as such. According to expert opinion, the lead timeframes for Boeing business jets can rise sharply in the case of highly individualized interior spaces. Interior modifications can take up more than half of the entire building period of such a jet.

The 747-8i, which was Qatari Royal Family rated, took almost 3 years to complete its interior architecture, was completed by 2012, and was custom built in 2015. In spite of their luxurious conveniences for their owner and high-end guest, part of the room in these floating villas is reserved for business to business classic seating to accommodate a greater number of people.

Converting the configuration of such aircraft to the corporate aircraft design of a business aircraft usually cost $15 million or more. Qatari royalty was not the only UHNWI to convert business aircraft into privately owned aircraft. Other well-known Boeing business jet business owners include Roman Abramovich, Chelsea FC holder, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google creators who are retrofitting a Boeing that used to flew for Qantas carriers.
