A demonstration of performance in its purest form at Farnborough International Airshow. From takeoff to landing, each turn, climb, and descent reflect the exceptional engineering behind our Bombardier #Global8000. Designed to be the fastest business jet in the world, with a range of 8,000 nautical miles, it delivers a level of precision, control, and capability that redefines what’s possible in the industry. Designed with intent. Proven in performance. #FIA2026

The Helicopter Company (THC) is expanding into business aviation with Bombardier. At the Farnborough International Airshow, Saudi Arabia’s leading commercial helicopter operator signed a Letter of Intent toward a firm order for 12 Bombardier aircraft, including 5 Challenger 3500, 5 Global 5500 and 2 Global 8000 jets, with purchase options for up to 48 additional aircraft. As THC expands into fixed-wing business aviation, this planned fleet is designed to meet growing demand for private and general aviation, driven by Saudi Arabia’s expanding tourism sector, business activity, and emerging destinations. The signing ceremony was attended by THC CEO Captain Arnaud Martinez, Head of Aviation & Security at the Public Investment Fund Muhammad Ovais Yousuf, and Bombardier leadership, including CEO Éric Martel and Chairman Pierre Beaudoin. This agreement marks an important step in supporting the growth of business aviation in Saudi Arabia and the region.

A new speed record: our Global 8000 completed the flight from Los Angeles to Farnborough in just 8 hours and 46 minutes. En route to the #FarnboroughAirshow, the aircraft surpassed the previous record for the route by 2.2%. The world's fastest civil aircraft since Concorde continues to bring destinations closer through a combination of speed, range and performance, with an industry-leading range of 8,000 nautical miles. This week, visitors to Farnborough can see those capabilities on display as the aircraft makes its aerial display debut. Read the full press release: https://bit.ly/3RGxWpj

Focus is easier to maintain on a smooth ride. In flight, even minor turbulence can disrupt concentration. The ability to stay engaged depends on more than connectivity or space. It depends on how the aircraft moves through the sky. The best flight is one that feels like it never left the ground. The smoother the ride, the less stress on the body and mind. Our Smooth Flĕx Wing on Bombardier Global aircraft is engineered to act like an in-air shock absorber. By flexing in response to airflow, it helps dampen turbulence before it reaches the cabin. The result is a more stable environment that supports comfort, focus, and overall well-being.

When the world’s fastest civil aircraft since the Concorde takes to the skies, you should slow down and watch. The first public aerial demonstration of the Bombardier Global 8000 aircraft is coming to the Farnborough International Airshow. Witness the aircraft that can chase the dawn on 20.07.2026. #FIA2026 #Global8000

Feeling better after a long flight starts onboard. For many executives, a transoceanic flight does not end at landing. The most important moments often start right after arrival: a board meeting, a customer visit, a negotiation. How you feel after a flight matters just as much as where it can take you. One factor that often goes unnoticed is cabin altitude, the equivalent altitude inside the aircraft during flight. Cabin altitude can influence how passengers feel during and after a flight, therefore it is one of several factors that shape the onboard experience and how passengers feel upon arrival. Not all aircraft are designed the same. Different pressurization systems create different cabin environments, even when flying at the same altitude. The Bombardier Global 8000 is engineered to offer the lowest cabin altitude in the industry, creating an environment designed around passenger well-being. Because we believe the best business aircraft aren’t just designed to travel farther, they’re designed to help you step off ready to perform.

At Bombardier, acoustics is engineered from the start. Great design is judged by every sense. And when sound is overlooked, it shows. Even a landmark like the Royal Albert Hall required decades of intervention to resolve fundamental acoustic limitations. That is why we approach it differently. Materials, surfaces and cabin architecture are designed to control how sound behaves, from absorption to distribution. Psychoacoustic analysis ensures this translates into a clear and consistent onboard experience. This foundation enabled the development of Bombardier’s l’Opéra, delivering a high‑fidelity audio experience, including directional sound. It is designed to account for how cabin layouts, furnishings and seating positions influence sound quality. Sound is managed with precision and quality, with the added benefit of being personalized to your specific location in the cabin.

Choosing a business aircraft takes perspective and conviction. L’Expérience by Bombardier offers a more deliberate way to reach that decision. In a private setting, each aircraft is revealed through its craftsmanship, precision and intent. The experience creates the conditions for focused exploration and a direct engagement with what defines each aircraft, and how it aligns with the way you operate. The inaugural destination is hosted at Eccelsa Aviation in Olbia, Italy, throughout July and August. More destinations to follow.

Landing matters in Carlsbad. Set along the Pacific coast, its short runway and gusty conditions require careful speed management and a stable approach. 4,897 ft runway Coastal winds and gusts Variable coastal ceiling and visibility Our #Global8000 is designed to perform in these conditions. Its Smooth Flĕx Wing, with leading‑edge slats, supports lower approach speeds and consistent control when runway length is limited. Each design element reflects a clear purpose. Our aircraft combine range, speed and runway performance to expand access to airports where precision matters most, in all-weather conditions.
