Boeing Business Jets Offers Customers More Comfortable Cabin Altitude

Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) operators now have the option to lower cabin altitude from the standard 8,000-foot cabin to 6,500 feet, improving passenger comfort. The lower cabin altitude feature, available in early 2003, will be sold as a kit that can be installed after delivery of a green airplane or as a retrofit on in-service BBJs.

Boeing Business Jets was launched in 1996 as a joint venture between Boeing and General Electric. Designed for corporate and VIP applications, the Boeing Business Jet is a high-performance derivative of the Next-Generation 737-700.
