LAS VEGAS, Oct. 22, 2019
/PRNewswire/ -- A VIP customer was behind the purchase of two
ultra-long range 787-9 Dreamliner airplanes, Boeing [NYSE: BA]
announced today at the National Business Aviation Association's
annual convention.
The order, placed in August, has a list price value of

The BBJ 787-9, a business jet version of the

"The BBJ 787-9 offers our most discerning customers the ability
to travel in ultimate comfort and fly directly to just about any
city on earth. We're talking about London to Sydney or Tokyo to Cape
Town. Our newest BBJ 787-9 customer can clearly see the
possibilities and more," said Ihssane
Mounir, senior vice president of Commercial Sales and
Marketing for The Boeing Company. "With a total of 16 orders to
date, the BBJ 787 program has won over other government and private
customers who want to work, rest, and arrive refresh and ready for
a productive day."

industry with 2,775 ft2 (257.8

canvas for a range of interior design options to ensure ultimate
comfort on those short or long-distance flights.
