The Boeing Company says Boeing Business Jets (BBJ) has seen continuous growth in China and has a fleet of 29 aircraft in operation in the market.

Boeing Business Jets VP Greg Laxton said the figure shows that the fleet has tripled in China over the last five years.

Boeing said the business jet fleet in China would continue to expand this year.

Two MAX 8 aircraft will be delivered to customers next year.

Boeing and GE jointly initiated Boeing Business Jets in 1996.

The company has more than 400 jets in operation worldwide so far.
