In the rarefied world of ultra-long range business jets, there are aircraft that push boundaries – and then there is Bombardier’s Global 8000, engineered not just to fly farther and faster, but to reshape what private aviation can feel like.

Positioned as the world’s fastest and most advanced business jet, it brings travellers as close as they can get today to Concorde‑level speed in a private cabin.

Speed That Borders on Supersonic

Designed to cruise at Mach 0.94, the Global 8000 is the fastest civil aircraft since Concorde. For global executives, that means hours saved on long‑haul routes and a smoother, more stable ride at near‑supersonic velocity.

Range That Changes What’s Possible

With an extraordinary 8,000‑nautical‑mile range, the aircraft connects city pairs previously out of reach for non‑stop private aviation — from Los Angeles to Singapore, London to Perth, and Dubai to Houston — eliminating refuelling stops and preserving productivity.

Four Suites, One Seamless Experience

Inside, the Global 8000 offers four distinct luxury suites, each designed around a different rhythm of long‑range travel: a club suite for meetings, a dining/conference suite, an entertainment lounge, and a principal suite with a full‑size bed and optional en‑suite shower. Bombardier’s low cabin altitude and advanced air purification ensure passengers arrive refreshed rather than depleted.

Short‑Runway Capability — With Limits

For business travellers who value point‑to‑point efficiency, the Global 8000’s strong take‑off and landing performance allows it to access many shorter runways that other long‑range jets cannot. While it is not certified for London City Airport’s uniquely steep approach, it can still operate into a wide range of secondary airports closer to major financial districts — reducing ground‑transfer times and supporting more efficient itineraries.

A Jet Built for the Way Leaders Travel Today

The Global 8000 is aimed at those whose schedules span continents and whose time is their most valuable asset. With its combination of speed, range and residential‑style comfort, it represents a new era of purposeful, high‑performance private aviation — a jet designed not just to move people, but to elevate the way they travel.
