Bombardier has set its first speed record on a mission departing from Montreal, Canada and landing in Nice, France. The aircraft completed the mission in just over six hours. Boasting a top speed of Mach 0.95 and a range of 8,000 NM, the Global 8000 is the fastest and most luxurious aircraft in the industry, transporting passengers quicker, farther and more efficiently than ever before.

On this specific mission, the aircraft was taking passengers to the Monaco F1 Grand Prix. The Global 8000 business jet is in a class by itself when it comes to speed, luxury and performance ? setting the pace in the ultra-long-range class.

The Global 8000 aircraft continues to illustrate its industry-leading attributes on all fronts, from its signature smooth ride to its outstanding performance and landing capabilities. Boasting the lowest cabin altitude in business aviation production at 2,691 ft. while cruising at 41,000 ft., the Global 8000 minimizes the physiological stress associated with high altitude travel, helping passengers arrive at their destinations feeling refreshed and ready to perform.

In addition to its long-range capabilities, low cabin altitude and exceptionally smooth ride, the aircraft remains remarkably agile, with takeoff and landing performance comparable to that of a light jet. Its advanced wing design featuring unique leading-edge slats enables customers to master up to 30% more airports than its closest rival. The aircraft features four distinct, luxurious living spaces, including a full-size kitchen, providing the ultimate comfort and convenience.

Its connectivity options and ergonomic seating ? including Bombardier?s Nuage seat ? makes it an ideal environment for productivity and relaxation, ensuring that passengers arrive at their destination refreshed and ready to take on their business endeavors.
