Bombardier starts manufacturing of the Global 8000
Bombardier monday announced that manufacturing of major structural components for the 1st production jet is underway across Bombardier facilities in Saint-Laurent (Québec), Red Oak (Texas) and Querétaro (Mexico).
Set to enter into service in the second half of 2025, the Global 8000 private jet will stand alone as the world’s fastest and longest-range purpose-built business jet.
“The manufacturing process for what will be the industry’s fastest business jet, the impressive ultra-long-range Global 8000, has begun,” said David Murray, Executive Vice President, Manufacturing, IT and Bombardier Operational Executive System. “Our engineering and production teams continue to demonstrate unmatched levels of expertise, pride and innovation, qualities that are an intrinsic part of Bombardier’s DNA.”

The aircraft will feature an industry-leading range of 8,000 nautical miles and an unequaled top speed of Mach 0.94, unlocking more city pairs than ever before including Dubai-Houston, Singapore-Los Angeles, London-Perth and many others.
This incredible business aircraft will also deliver in terms of its in-flight experience. The luxurious cabin will incorporate revolutionary features introduced on the Global 7500 aircraft that dramatically improve passenger comfort including an available Principal Suite with a full-size bed and a stand-up shower in the En-suite. Revolutionary cabin advancements will also include entertainment control and connectivity, the intuitive nice Touch CMS and OLED touch dial and Bombardier’s l’Opéra directional audio sound system.
In anticipation of the planned entry-into-service of the Global 8000 business jet, an upgrade is currently available for purchase by existing Global 7500 aircraft clients through one of Bombardier’s aircraft service centres. Benefits of the upgrade will include improving the aircraft’s top speed, increasing its range and providing passengers with exceptionally low cabin altitudes.
