Global 8000

Earlier today, Bombardier unveiled the newest addition to its industry-leading business jet portfolio by introducing the Global 8000 aircraft, the world’s fastest and longest-range purpose-built jet.

 With an industry-leading range of 8,000 nautical miles and an unbeatable top speed of Mach 0.94, the Global 8000 aircraft is widely considered to be the ultimate all-in-one business aircraft. Offering customers and passengers a remarkable combination of superior performance married with the smoothest ride and an uncompromising passenger experience – the absolute leader in the long-range class.

 The discerning Global 8000 business jet also features the healthiest cabin in the industry, equipped with Bombardier’s Pũr Air and advanced HEPA filter technology for the cleanest cabin air and fastest fresh air replacement. Whats more, it has the lowest cabin altitude in its class of 2,900 feet when flying at 41,000 ft. With its spacious four personalised suites ergonomically designed to maximise space and freedom of movement and the Soleil circadian lighting system to help combat jet lag, passengers are guaranteed to arrive at their destination revitalised and refreshed.

Regarding performance, the Global 8000 aircraft can efficiently transport customers to a wide variety of destinations faster and farther than ever thought possible. And with its exceptional class-leading range and short-field performance, even more exclusive city pairs are now achievable, including Dubai-Houston, Singapore-Los Angeles, London-Perth, and many others.

Global 8000 Interior

Expected to enter service in 2025, the Global 8000 aircraft development is ongoing, but its arrival will fundamentally change the aviation industry.

The Global 8000 private jet will be the flagship for a new era with the fastest speed, the longest range, and the smoothest ride converges in a single business aircraft.

Bombardier said the list price of the Global 8000 is $78 million, up from $75 million for the 7500. It will feature modern cabin technology and comfort, including a 2,900-foot cabin altitude and the company’s own Pür Air and HEPA filter technology.

The 8000 inherited a range of features from the 7500, including the Soleil circadian lighting system to prevent jet lag and Nuage “zero-gravity” seats to reduce lower back pressure. The airframe itself consists of four-cabin zones, one of which is a principal suite with a full-size bed and stand-up shower. Passengers have access to revolutionary cabin entertainment control and connectivity, the intuitive, nice Touch CMS and OLED touch dial, Bombardier’s l’Opéra directional audio sound system, and the available 4K monitor, which also ensures passengers will receive an unrivalled cabin experience.

The cockpit will be fitted with the Bombardier Vision flight deck, equipped with next-generation fly-by-wire technology and a blend of cutting-edge avionics with exceptional ergonomics and aesthetics for remarkable comfort and control.

 The launch of the Global 8000 is also great news for customers of the 7500, whether their aircraft have been delivered or are still on order. When the 8000 enters service, an optional service bulletin will be issued for the 7500, allowing it to be retrofitted with the 8000's performance enhancements if the customer so desires. The downtime needed for the retrofit is expected to take less than a week.
