Bombardier delivered the first Global 8000 in Asia this month to an undisclosed customer based in Shanghai. The manufacturer described the delivery as a milestone in the expansion of ultra-long-range business aviation across the region.

“This first Global 8000 delivery in Asia reflects the region’s continued appetite for aircraft that combine range, speed, and an exceptional level of comfort for its passengers,” said Emmanuel Bornand, Bombardier’s v-p of international sales. “Asia is a strategic market for Bombardier, and the Global 8000 is particularly well aligned with the way customers in the region travel: across long distances, on tight schedules and with a strong focus on comfort, efficiency, and nonstop global connectivity.”
