Bombardier introduced two new jets, the Global 7000 and Global 8000, to the top end of its Global family of ultra-long-range business jets at NBAA yesterday. The larger Global 7000 features a four-zone cabin and will have a 7,300-nm range, and the shorter Global 8,000 has a three-zone cabin and a 7,900-nm range. "By extending this great family, we are once again offering a business jet travel experience that is unmatched and ahead of its time," said Steve Ridolfi, president, Bombardier Business Aircraft. The entry-into-service date for the Global 7000 is set for 2016 and for the Global 8000 it is 2017. Both of the new jets are priced at $65 million in 2010 dollars. The current in-production Global fleet includes the Global Express XRS and the Global 5000.
"The whole philosophy is to maintain the high ground in the long-range category of aircraft," said Bob Horner, Bombardier's senior vice president, sales.
