Operational Context

Boeing BBJ MAX 9 — extended narrow-body executive jet

The BBJ MAX 9 is based on the 737 MAX 9, which first flew in 2017 and entered service in 2018. The business jet version retains the updated engines and aerodynamic improvements of the MAX series. Cabin layouts are customized to meet operator requirements.

Powered by two CFM LEAP-1B turbofan engines producing approximately 28,000 pounds of thrust (124 kN) each, the BBJ MAX 9 cruises at around 450 knots (833 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 194,000 pounds (88,000 kg). Range can exceed 6,500 nautical miles (12,040 km) depending on configuration.

The BBJ MAX 9 provides additional cabin volume compared with smaller MAX-based business jets. It is suited for long-range executive and governmental missions. The aircraft extends the BBJ lineup within the MAX generation.
