Introducing the Global 8000 aircraft: luxury, range and speed to burn!
It is with great excitement and pride that I share some news from this year’s European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva, Switzerland – the launch of the Global 8000 aircraft.
Introduced by Bombardier president and CEO Éric Martel to a crowd of some 500 business aviation industry leaders, attendees and media during an event on Monday, May 23, the latest member of Bombardier’s Global family was indeed the talk of the show.
The Global 8000 is the world’s fastest and longest-range purpose-built business jet and is innovatively crafted with the industry’s healthiest cabin for safety, comfort, and performance. And this aircraft is fast. The Global 8000 aircraft delivers the longest range in the industry at 8,000 nautical miles. The aircraft can also reach speeds of Mach 0.94 – the fastest Canadian built aircraft in more than 50 years.
With its luxurious, spacious four personalized suites, this industry flagship for a new era incorporates many of the revolutionary features introduced on the Global 7500 aircraft Bombardier customers have come to love and appreciate, including the Soleil circadian lighting system to help combat jet lag and the innovative Nuage seat with its first-ever zero gravity position.
The discerning Global 8000 business jet also features the healthiest cabin in the industry, with the lowest cabin altitude in its class of 2,900 feet when flying at 41,000 ft. It is also equipped with Bombardier’s Pũr Air and advanced HEPA filter technology for the cleanest cabin air and the fastest fresh air replacement.
I am also very pleased to announce that current Global 7500 customers will have the opportunity to retrofit their aircraft at one of our worldwide service facilities after the Global 8000 aircraft enters into service in 2025.
This truly is a remarkable aircraft and, with this announcement, Bombardier once again solidifies its position as the undisputed leader in business aviation.
Sincerely,
Jean-Christophe Gallagher
