The 100th "green" aircraft or an unfinished plane would now be fully fitted at the Delaware-based PATS Aircraft
Completion Center, the company said in a release.
"Representatives of the Government of India accepted the milestone airplane at the Boeing Delivery Center in Seattle" on November 29, the release said, adding that it was the 100th of Boeing Business Jets delivered by the aircraft major to its customers worldwide.
The BBJ delivered to the Indian official representatives are typically designed to seat between 25 and 50 passengers.
The aircraft to be fitted in Delaware would have a stateroom, a meeting room, a communications centre and seating for 48 passengers, the release said.
"Green" aircraft are unfinished planes as they do not have interior furnishing or exterior paint. Once the aircraft is ready, customers work with the designers to install the interiors matching their preferences and needs.
Dinesh Keskar, Boeing Commercial Airplanes vice president, said the company was "honoured that the Government of India has (so far) utilised the 737 Boeing Business jet for transportation of VVIPs and heads of state".
India has ordered three such aircraft from Boeing.
"The delivery of this airplane will continue to build upon our long-term partnership. We are extremely pleased
that the BBJ will be part of that great future", Keskar said.
