Reading time: < 1 minute

Last year 2022, the Canadian manufacturer, Bombardier , announced the Global 8000 , the world's fastest long-range commercial aircraft, and on May 22, 2023, they confirmed that it had already made its first flight.

Stephen McCullough, senior vice president of engineering and product development, told EBACE that the first flight of the Global 8000 took place last week and it performed perfectly. In addition, he added that the first day of testing he had a flight of more than 7.1 hour

With this, they confirmed that they are confident that they will be able to make a service entry as planned for the second half of 2025 and that they will meet the promised performance commitment.

The model is based on the Global 7500 , within the differences is the software to control the engines and to transport fuel that increases its own autonomy. It will have capacity for 19 passengers, an ultra-long range of up to 8,000 nautical miles; Additionally, it has a top speed capability of Mach 0.94. It will be equipped with General Electric's Passport engine.
Its list price is estimated at $78 million, that is, $3 million more than the Global 7500. It is even a little more expensive than the planes with which it seeks to compete and that we just mentioned. The aircraft is promised to be able to fly routes such as Dubai (DXB) -Houston (IAH), Singapore (SIN) - Los Angeles (LAX) and London (LCY) -Perth, Australia (PER).
