Bombardier achieved a breakthrough sale for its new Global 7000 when Comlux The Aviation Group signed a contract for two of the ultra-long-range jets at last month's Middle East Business Aviation convention in Dubai. It was the first of two deals signed at the show by Bombardier, which left Dubai with at least $285 million in new business.

Comlux selected the new model with the Middle East uppermost in mind. The Global 7000 will allow the aircraft management and charter operator to fly passengers nonstop to the U.S. from its new regional base in Bahrain.
The Canadian airframer introduced its ultra-long-range Global 7000 and Global 8000 at the NBAA Convention in Atlanta in October. The newcomers are Bombardier's response to the challenge posed by Gulfstream's new large-cabin G650.
