Bombardier Global 7000/8000: The Vanguard of Private Jet Life
The Bombardier Global 7000 and Global 8000 are sophisticated ultra-long-range, high-speed VIP jets that are currently under development. Designed for luxury and performance, these aircraft aim to redefine private aviation by offering unparalleled range and speed. They will compete directly with Gulfstream Aerospace’s acclaimed G500 and G600 models, setting new standards in comfort and efficiency for discerning travelers.
Initially, the Global 7000 and Global 8000 were expected to enter service in 2016 and 2017, respectively. However, the launch of the Global 7000 has been delayed until the second half of 2018, and it is certain that the Global 8000 will also not be released on its expected date. Currently, 62 units have been booked, with customers including F1 legend Niki Lauda, VistaJet, and NetJets. Unfortunately, the delay may result in Bombardier Aerospace losing some market share to its competitors.
The Global 7000 features four luxurious cabins that provide unparalleled space and comfort for up to 19 passengers. Bombardier promises to create a homelike environment conducive to both productivity and leisure. Charter the Global 7500 and luxury long-range private jets with JetOptions Private Jets today.
