Boeing Business Jets returns to the MEBAA Show in Dubai this week to highlight its VIP bizliners. Three BBJs can be found on the MEBAA static display, including two BBJ1s and a larger BBJ2, based on the Boeing 737-700 and -800, respectively.

Dubai-based aircraft brokerage Action Aviation brought its BBJ1 (tail number P4-999) to showcase in partnership with Boeing. Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi-based executive charter provider Royal Jet is displaying the other BBJ1. Royal Jet operates the largest fleet of BBJs in the world and acquired its 13th BBJ in 2022.

Monaco-based aircraft broker Opus Aero is exhibiting the BBJ2, which is 19 feet longer and offers 25% more cabin space and double the cargo volume versus the BBJ1. Opus Aero’s 27-passenger aircraft features a private stateroom, complete with an ensuite shower, along with a dining area and lounge.

“Bizliners appeal to clients who value spaciousness and versatility, combined with the comforts of a true home in the sky,” said Wassim Saheb, managing partner of Opus Aero in the Middle East. “This BBJ2 reflects our commitment to offering unmatched aircraft that redefine private travel.”
