The C-40C is based on the Boeing 737-700 Boeing Business Jet, and includes
the following enhancements:
Updated 21st century avionics
777-type flight deck with common-display system (includes liquid-crystal

Milestones
Delivery of first two aircraft: October 2002

Maintenance
Because the C-40C is based on the commercially successful 737, it shares a
readily available supply of parts, the 737 network of comprehensive field
services, and the 737 spares-distribution network. Consequently the C-40C will
offer reduced maintenance costs.
