In July, 2016, China's HNA Group, the parent company of Hainan Airlines, took delivery a shiny brand new 787 Boeing Business Jet (787 BBJ), costing around $300 million.

The purchase, modification and sale of this first-ever VVIP custom Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) 787-8 was managed by Kestrel Aviation Management.

This 2,400 sq.ft. corporate aircraft has a range of nearly 9,800 nautical mile and can fly up to 40 passengers over 17 hours, non-stop between almost all major cities on earth.

The luxuriously organic interior design was produced by Kestrel Aviation Management together with Pierrejean Design Studio, Paris.

This is the eleventh wide-body corporate jet Kestrel Aviation Management has turn-key project-managed and the first we have been able to show in public.
