Essentially a Boeing 737-700 with the engines & wings from the 737-800. They have been fitted with extra fuel tank.
Privatair of Switzerland is using one on scheduled service on behalf of Lufthansa between Munich & Newark, as well as one on behalf of Swiss betwee Zurich & JFK. The maximum range is somewhere in the region of the distance between Seattle & Jeddah - because they flew one non-stop between the 2 places when it was being delivered to a Saudi company.
Airbus have been pitching their models too, with the clients having the choise of a A319LR (Long Range) or a ACJ (Airbus Corporate Jet). The former is a stock A319 which have been fitted with extra fuel tanks in one of the cargo holds, which enables it to fly from Dusseldorf in Germany to Newark & Chicago in the US. The ACJ is an A319 with a customized interior.
