European Aviation Adds Boeing 737 BBJ for VIP Charters
European Aviation is entering the VIP charter market with a Boeing 737 BBJ (reg. 2-BIGG), launching services in March 2026.
The company announced the purchase of a Boeing 737-700 Business Jet (BBJ) — registered 2-BIGG — as its first dedicated aircraft for premium charters. The move signals a strategic expansion beyond its existing operations and positions European Aviation to compete in the continent’s high-end business aviation market.
European clients and international visitors can expect tailored charter offerings aimed at corporate groups, executives and private travellers. Operators often convert 737-700 airframes into BBJ configurations to prioritise range, cabin space and custom interiors; European Aviation plans to market the aircraft to clients seeking bespoke route planning and elevated onboard service.
Boeing 737 BBJ: what it brings to the fleet
The Boeing 737 BBJ name refers to Boeing’s business jet variants of the 737 family, here based on the 737-700 airframe. While details on cabin layout and interiors for 2-BIGG haven’t been published, the BBJ platform is widely used by VIP operators for long-range regional missions and flexible charter operations.
- Boeing 737 BBJ (reg. 2-BIGG) will be central to the company’s VIP charter offering starting March 2026.
- Focus on premium service: tailored itineraries, privacy and corporate-friendly schedules.
- Strategic play: expands European Aviation’s market reach into premium business aviation.
European Aviation’s announcement points to a launch window in March 2026 for commercial VIP charters. That timing gives the operator runway to complete any cabin conversion, certification checks and crew training required for business-jet operations. Customers should expect targeted route options across Europe and bespoke pricing typical of the VIP charter sector.
For now, the key facts are straightforward: a Boeing 737-700 BBJ, registration 2-BIGG, and a planned start of VIP charter services in March 2026 — marking a notable step into premium aviation for European Aviation.
