Boeing for a long time,” said Mr Wang.Wei, vice general manager of Beijing

that relationship with the addition of our first BBJ to the Beijing Airlines
fleet and look forward to working with Boeing to meet the demand of the rapidly
expanding business jet market in China.”
“Asia and particularly China has been
a strong market for Boeing Business Jets for several years,” said Steve

best business jet to fit their needs backed by unmatched customer support helps
make us even stronger in the region.”
Next stop for the “green” BBJ is

center of the customer’s choice where the interior will be installed.
