The delivery was made to an undisclosed customer based in Shanghai, marking an important step in the expansion of ultra-long-range business aviation across the region.
Global 8000 enables non-stop city pairs such as Shanghai to New York, Shanghai to Dublin and Shanghai to Sydney, helping customers travel farther and faster. For customers in Asia, the Bombardier flagship Global 8000 brings together the attributes that matter most on long missions: exceptional speed, a global reach, the healthiest cabin environment and the flexibility to land into more airports.
In a market where long-range capability remains a priority, the aircraft offers a top speed of Mach 0.95, a range of 8,000 nautical miles and the industry’s lowest cabin altitude for an aircraft in production at 2,691 ft. (820 metres). These advantages help passengers arrive more refreshed and give operators greater freedom to optimize missions.
