The Boeing BBJ is the business jet derived from the Boeing 737-700, in the ultra long range category, for up to 30 passengers, built from 1998 to 2021. The up-to-date RAB-ANAC registration count is in the Brazil Fleet section of this page, and the breakdown by status (operational, registration-mark reservation, suspended) is in the model's Analytics.

According to Boeing, on 30 Oct 1998, the enhanced 737-700 that serves as the BBJ platform was approved by the FAA and Europe's JAA on 29 Oct 1998. The BBJ combines the 737-700 fuselage with the strengthened wings and landing gear of the 737-800, and the manufacturer quoted a range of more than 6,085 nm and cruise speeds up to Mach 0.82. According to Boeing, on 23 Nov 1998, the first two BBJs were delivered that week.

Out of production, the model can only be bought pre-owned. The pre-owned median and open listings, kept up to date, are in the price card and the For sale now card of this page.
