After entering service in 2021, the BBJ 737-8 airplane is the very first BBJ 737 MAX and one of the most luxurious ways to take to the skies.
Defined as a ‘higher evolution of comfort and luxury’ – it’s upped the game of business aviation and is currently on display at the 2024 European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition in Geneva.
What’s more, with an unprecedented combination of extended range and fuel efficiency – it boasts functionality as well as breathtaking form.

From the outside, the 98 ft 6 in/30 m private jet has a chic taupe upper, paired with a brown lower and brown accent stripe flowing up the tail.
With 15 hours of non-stop range, the BBJ 737 MAX can travel to 6,600nmi/12,220km.
Inside it has up to three times the space of a typical private jet.
Catering for up to 17 of the most discerning travelers, its VVIP five-zone cabin configuration deserves a walk-through.
Beginning at the front of the BBJ 737 MAX is a screened-off crew rest area, lavatory, and storage including three large closets.

The port side of the BBJ 737 MAX consists of two two-place club seats with a 43″ ultra-high-definition monitor.
Walking on to zone three, the aft lounge consists of a five-place ‘L; shaped divan and a single seat situated on the left surrounding two Hi-Lo tables.

There’s also a bathroom with a full-size shower.
And finally to the pièce de résistance of zone five: the master suite, which can rival a 5* hotel.
It includes a queen bed with two nightstands, a single seat with a pull-out table, a closet, a dresser, and a 43″ wall-mounted monitor.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
