Chartright Air Group welcomes the world’s first Bombardier Global 8000 jet

The world’s first Bombardier Global 8000 business jet has officially entered service with Canadian operator Chartright Air Group, marking a milestone in global aviation. Designed and manufactured in Canada, this cutting-edge aircraft underscores the nation’s position as a leader in advanced aerospace innovation. Chartright, which pioneered the introduction of the Bombardier Global 7500 to Canada’s fleet in 2021, now becomes the first operator globally to welcome the next-generation Global 8000.

Global 8000 Game-Changer

The Global 8000 boasts a maximum cruise speed of Mach 0.95, making it the fastest operational civilian aircraft since the retired Concorde. Paired with an impressive 8,000-nautical-mile range, the aircraft can connect key global cities nonstop, including routes like Toronto to Singapore, Vancouver to Dubai, and Montreal to Hong Kong. These features cater to an increasing demand for efficiency among business travelers and high-net-worth individuals seeking seamless international connectivity. The delivery underscores Bombardier’s legacy in aircraft manufacturing and Canada’s economic stake in the sector.

Bombardier Ecosystem

Bombardier supports a global fleet of over 5,100 business aircraft, serving clients across 68 countries. In Canada, the business aviation industry sustains approximately 14,800 direct aerospace manufacturing jobs, reflecting its critical role in the nation’s economy. The Global 8000’s launch reinforces this ecosystem, leveraging Canadian engineering expertise to set new benchmarks in speed and range.

For Chartright Air Group, the new jet represents not just a technological upgrade but a strategic advantage in a competitive global market. With its blend of Canadian ingenuity and operational excellence, the Global 8000 is poised to redefine long-haul business travel for years to come.
