Among the highlights of Bombardier’s presence at the show will be the first ever aerial display of the Global 8000 aircraft, whose performance capabilities make it the flagship of the business aviation industry as well as an ideal vehicle for the most demanding special missions, including head of state.
Bombardier’s Global aircraft family is already in strong demand from governments and militaries around the world. The Global 6500 platform in particular has been selected for a variety of special missions in Canada, the United States, Germany, Sweden, Korea and Australia, among other nations.
The Global 8000 business jet, which entered service in 2025 as the world’s fastest civilian aircraft, has big potential as a special mission vehicle. It also boasts a large payload volume, range of 8,000 NM and low cabin altitude of 820 m (2,691 ft). Global 8000’s impressive range converts to extra long endurance on station, and its unique design ensures it can access 30% more airfields than its closest competitor.
