Bombardier today celebrated the entry into service of its new flagship, the Global 8000, with a ceremony marking the first delivery of the ultra-long-range business jet at the company’s aircraft assembly center near Toronto. The twinjet received certification from Transport Canada last month; FAA and EASA approvals are pending.

Following a performance by Canadian rock musician Tom Cochrane, and in front of an audience of company employees, government officials, suppliers, media, and special guests, Patrick Dovigi—a long-time Bombardier customer—took possession of the aircraft, which will supplant his Global 7500.
