BOMBARDIER GLOBAL 8000, WORLD'S FASTEST BUSINESS JET, RECEIVES U.S. FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (FAA) CERTIFICATION

Bombardier Inc.'s Global 8000 (1), the world's fastest business aircraft, has received U.S. Federal Aviation Administration certification. The FAA certification marks the latest in a series of achievements over the past year that continue to illustrate the exceptional pedigree of this industry-defining ultralong-range business aircraft -- the fastest and most luxurious business jet in the skies. The Global 8000 received Transport Canada type certification on Nov. 5, 2025, and entered into service in December, 2025. Certification from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency is pending.

"This accomplishment is a direct result of the commitment to excellence and dedicated work of our highly skilled employees, suppliers, Transport Canada and the FAA for a collaborative, effective process," said Stephen McCullough, senior vice-president, engineering and product development, Bombardier. "Attaining the Global 8000 certification from the FAA sets new performance standards in the industry and marks one of the final chapters in our very successful development program for this groundbreaking business jet."

In addition to entering into service and attaining certifications from both Canadian and American regulatory authorities as per schedule, the Global 8000 has redefined business aviation due to its unbeatable performance attributes and exquisite cabins.

With the lowest cabin altitude in business aviation production at 2,691 feet, customers will feel like they are standing atop the Burj Khalifa as they cruise at 41,000 feet. This significantly reduced cabin altitude minimizes the physiological stress typically associated with high-altitude travel, helping passengers arrive feeling refreshed, alert and ready to perform.

The Global 8000 also boasts a top speed of Mach 0.95, enabling customers to fly farther, faster than any competing true four-zone business jet in the industry.

The Global 8000 is also the only true four-zone business jet to offer a range of 8,000 NM, enabling non-stop travel between more city pairs than ever before. In addition to its long-range capabilities, the aircraft remains remarkably agile, with takeoff and landing performance comparable with that of a light jet. Its advanced wing design featuring unique leading-edge slats enables customers to master up to 30 per cent more airports than its closest rival.
