Boeing unveiled their latest luxury private jet interior for the BBJ MAX 7 at 2018’s National Business Aviation Association conference. The Genesis concept, designed by SkyStyle, takes inspiration from nature with a white, grey and blue colour palette representing clouds floating above a white-sand beach. The ceiling is decorated with LEDs to replicate a starry sky and the cabin features long, curvy lines to evoke rolling hills.
One of the most expensive private jet options, the BBJ MAX 7 has a customisable layout that can include open meeting spaces for working, a bathroom with stand-up shower, and lounge areas with long sofas. There’s also a kitchen and bedroom, as well as a crew lavatory and rest area. A previous interior design for the BBJ MAX was developed by Alberto Pinto in warmer shades with classic wood and leather furnishings.
The BBJ MAX family, which also includes the BBJ MAX 8 and BBJ MAX 9, features some of the best private jets on the market. The MAX 7 has the most extensive 7,000 nm range but all the models have CFM LEAP-1B engines, top-range flight deck technology, and the MAX Advanced Technology Winglet which reduces drag. Spacious cabins can accommodate 19 passengers and are three times the size of most competitor jets.

There’s a master bedroom and office, bathroom, and lounge with round tables for meetings or relaxing. Four VIP guest suites lie beyond the lounge, complete with individual offices that convert into bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. There is also separate seating for support staff and a galley at the rear of the plane.
