Boeing Bbj 747 8 vs Boeing Bbj 777 8 vs Boeing Bbj 777 9 vs Boeing Bbj Max 7 vs Boeing Bbj Max 8 vs Boeing Bbj Max 9

By category, the BBJ 747-8 sits alone as an ultra–large, four‑engine VVIP widebody suited to head‑of‑state missions and maximum onboard space. The BBJ 777-8 and BBJ 777-9 are long‑range twin‑engine VVIP widebodies; the 777-8 emphasizes maximum range, while the 777-9 emphasizes size and passenger volume. The BBJ MAX 7, BBJ 737 MAX (often referring to the BBJ MAX 8-based variant), and BBJ MAX 9 are single‑aisle BBJ family aircraft optimized for smaller delegations and more flexible airport access, with the MAX 7 generally the most runway‑friendly and the MAX 9 the largest. On range, the 777-8 typically leads among the twins, the 747-8 and 777-9 follow closely depending on configuration, and the MAX-family BBJs provide intercontinental capability but generally less than the big widebodies. On passenger capacity, the 747-8 is highest, the 777-9 next, then the 777-8; the MAX 9 carries more than the MAX 8/“737 MAX” BBJ, and the MAX 7 is smallest.
