Bombardier Global 8000
Bombardier's Global 8000 is poised for market entry with Transport Canada approval in tow.

Bombardier’s newest flagship, the Global 8000, secured Transport Canada type certification today, keeping the ultra-long-range model on track for entry into service before year-end. The Canadian airframer said similar approvals from the FAA and EASA are in the works and will follow “in alignment with delivery requirements.”

The successor of the 7,700-nm Global 7500 twinjet, the Global 8000 has a maximum range of 8,000 nm and sets a new benchmark in the business aviation sector with a top speed of Mach 0.95—a figure confirmed last month at NBAA-BACE and up from the earlier anticipated Mach 0.94 Mmo.
