Boeing Business Jets has unveiled a turnkey 747-8 VIP offering that packages aircraft acquisition, bespoke cabin design and completion, delivery and long-term in-service support under a single Boeing contract—aimed squarely at UHNW buyers, governments and VVIP charter operators seeking scale, range and simplicity.
Positioned as the world’s largest VIP aircraft, the 747-8 VIP provides nearly 5,000 sq ft of interior real estate and seating for up to 75 passengers, with a quoted range of 8,500nm enough for New York–Bangkok or Dubai–Los Angeles non-stops. The type carries forward 787 Dreamliner-derived technologies to reduce noise, fuel burn and maintenance versus earlier 747 variants. “The 747-8 continues to serve as a premier VIP and head of state aircraft… We’re thrilled to continue this legacy with the Boeing-backed 747-8 VIP delivering a personalised and exceptional flying experience,” said Joe Benson, President, Boeing Business Jets.
