About this aircraft
The BBJ 787-8 uses Boeing's Dreamliner efficiency and composite quietness for modern VIP widebody travel—lower cabin altitude and a smoother ride amplified in private completions.
It suits operators who want newest-generation widebody VIP without stretching to the longer 787-9 shell. Completions typically emphasize quiet lounges, bedrooms, and conference spaces on long oceanic and continental sectors.
