NetJets placed a firm order for four Global 8000 aircraft and converted eight existing orders to the latest Bombardier Ultra-long-range jet model.
NetJets will be also working with Bombardier to upgrade the entire of its in-service Global 7500 fleet to Global 8000.
The new “Executive Cabin” features a unique open office concept and spacious three workspace interior designed to maximize corporate collaboration, productivity and networking with fellow passengers.
In 2012 with the entry into service of the Gulfstream G650 (Model GVI), a new era of Ultra-Long-Range (> 7000 nm) purpose-built Business Jets was launched. Although highly impacted by continuous delays and cost overruns with its CSeries commercial aircraft family, Bombardier had to respond with the launch of the Global 7000 and 8000 family program that soon converged with the delivery of the current industry flagship, the Global 7500. The Ultra-Long-Range offerings will soon be extended with the addition of the state-of-the-art Gulfstream G700 and G800 and a clean sheet design from Dassault Aviation, the extra widebody Falcon 10X. Let’s look at what’s today the most advanced and dynamic segment of Business Aviation!
Expected to enter service in 2025, the new Global 8000 will have a top speed of Mach 0.94 and 8,000 nautical miles range, making it the world’s fastest and longest-range purpose-built business jet.
