NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL TAKING THE BOEING: Boeing just launched a new $400 million 777X private airliner, and it’s a flying mansion that can go halfway around the world.

If you have the means…

The upcoming Boeing 777X has some big shoes to fill. The new wide-body is set to be Boeing’s next flagship and the replacement for the iconic 747 jumbo jet.

And now there will be a private-jet version of the airliner.

On Monday, Boeing Business Jets launched the BBJ 777X at the Middle East Business Aviation Association Show in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

“Our most exclusive customers want to travel with the best space and comfort and fly directly to their destination,” Greg Laxton, the head of Boeing Business Jets, said in a statement. “The new BBJ 777X will be able to do this like no other aeroplane before it, redefining ultra-long-range VIP travel.”

That’s a classical reference in the headline.
