• The Global 8000⁽¹⁾ introduces a new industry benchmark for cabin altitude, exceeding its original estimates with a mark of 2,691 ft. at 41,000 ft., making it the lowest being produced in business aviation
• The Global 8000 will redefine passenger comfort with a cabin altitude that will feel similar to standing atop the Burj Khalifa, all while cruising at 41,000 feet
• Bombardier's Global 8000 is on track to enter service in 2025 as the fastest civil aircraft since the Concorde

MONTREAL, Nov. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bombardier today announced that the Global 8000⁽¹⁾, the world's fastest business jet with a top speed of Mach 0.95 and with the longest range in its class at 8,000 nautical miles, has set a new industry benchmark for cabin altitude at 2,691 ft at 41,000 ft., the lowest being produced in business aviation. With this new cabin altitude, the Global 8000 aircraft helps passengers with the best physical wellbeing so that they arrive at their destinations feeling refreshed, alert and ready to perform.

"The ultimate comfort in the sky is feeling like you're at home. We have focused heavily on elevating the passenger experience, imperative priorities for ultra-long-range travel. With this industry benchmark for reduced cabin altitude, along with numerous other design features, we help passengers have the most comfortable inflight experiences in the industry," said Stephen M^cCullough, Senior Vice President, Engineering and Product Development, Bombardier. "The Global 8000 is truly the pinnacle of aviation engineering today. Offering the best combination of performance and comfort in the industry, we help our passengers have the most comfortable inflight experience."

The new cabin altitude perfectly complements Bombardier's Pur Air system, featuring HEPA air filtration. Combined, these elements will create a new benchmark for passenger wellbeing and comfort on-board the Global 8000 aircraft.

This reduced cabin altitude milestone follows Bombardier's game-changing achievement of a new top speed of Mach 0.95. Bombardier's Global 8000 is on track to enter into service in 2025 as the fastest civil aircraft since the Concorde. With its incredible, industry-defining performance attributes, the Global 8000 stands alone as the ultimate home or office in the sky, flying faster and farther than any ultra-long range four-zone business aircraft.
