The Global 8000 is the fastest civilian aircraft in the skies with a top speed of Mach 0.95 and a range of 8,000 NM, enabling passengers to fly faster and farther than ever before. Boasting the lowest cabin altitude in business aviation production at 2,691 ft. while cruising at 41,000 ft., the Global 8000 minimizes the physiological stress associated with high altitude travel, helping passengers arrive at their destinations feeling refreshed and ready to perform.

With its impressive range, the Global 8000 can connect travellers from key city pairs, including São Paulo to Perth, São Paulo to Vancouver and São Paulo to Dubai. In addition to its long-range capabilities, low cabin altitude and exceptionally smooth ride, the aircraft remains remarkably agile, with takeoff and landing performance comparable to that of a light jet. Its advanced wing design featuring unique leading-edge slats enables customers to master up to 30% more airports than its closest rival.

With a top speed of Mach 0.90 and range of 6,600 NM, Global 6500 can connect passengers from key destinations such as São Paulo to Aspen, São Paulo to London and São Paulo to Lagos.

In 2025, the Challenger 3500 was the most delivered super mid-size business jet – almost double its next competitor. It boasts a range of 3,400 NM and a top of speed of Mach 0.83, connecting passengers from key locations such as São Paulo to St. Maarten, São Paulo to El Calafate and São Paulo to Dakar.
