Bombardier Global 8000: 14,800 km Range and Mach 0.95
What performance does the Global 8000 deliver
The Global 8000 is powered by two GE Passport engines, developed for power and reliability. With an announced range of 8,000 nautical miles (14,800 km) and a top speed of Mach 0.95, it links the world's major cities non-stop:
- Dubai – Houston : approximately 16 h 00 flight time
- Singapore – Los Angeles : approximately 17 h 00 flight time
- Paris – Sydney : beyond direct range, technical stop required
- New York – Hong Kong : approximately 15 h 00 flight time
At high cruise speed, the aircraft maintains stable performance regardless of climatic conditions. Actual range varies according to payload, weather and flight profile. Our teams calculate the optimal configuration for each itinerary.
What is the cabin configuration
The Global 8000 cabin extends over 16.59 m in length, 2.49 m in width and 1.88 m in height. It accommodates up to 19 passengers, although most private configurations favour 12 to 16 seats to preserve intimacy.
Four distinct living zones structure the space, each modular according to needs:
- Reception area : club seating with face-to-face chairs
- Entertainment zone : 4K screen and cabin management system
- Principal Suite : full-size bed for in-flight rest
- Fully equipped galley : complete meal preparation on board


The cabin altitude is the lowest in the segment, below 2,900 feet when the aircraft is flying at 41,000 feet. This characteristic reduces jet-lag fatigue. The Pũre Air purification system and Soleil circadian lighting complete the interior environment.
The Vision Flight Deck cockpit
The Global 8000 cockpit integrates the Bombardier Vision Flight Deck. This new-generation avionics relies on fly-by-wire technology that improves stability and pilot situational awareness.

Panoramic displays and touchscreen interfaces reduce workload in flight. The system is designed to ensure smooth operations, including in complex airspace or degraded weather conditions.
Global 8000 vs Global 7500: what is the difference
The Global 7500 and the Global 8000 share the same airframe and cabin architecture. Differences focus on engines and aerodynamics:
| Specification | Global 7500 | Global 8000 |
| Range (8 passengers) | 14,260 km | 14,800 km |
| Maximum speed | Mach 0.925 | Mach 0.95 |
| High cruise speed | Mach 0.90 | Mach 0.92 |
| Engines | GE Passport | GE Passport (uprated) |
| Entry into service | 2018 | End of 2025 |
The Global 8000 represents the most recent evolution of the Bombardier range in the ultra-long-range segment. To discover all aircraft in this category, see our ultra-long-range jets page.
Frequently asked questions
Can the Global 8000 fly from Paris to Sydney non-stop
No. The distance from Paris to Sydney exceeds 16,900 km, beyond the Global 8000's range. A technical stop is required, typically in Singapore or Dubai. Our teams organise these stops seamlessly, with minimal ground time.
What is the cost to charter a Global 8000
The indicative hourly rate for a Global 8000 ranges between €9,000 and €12,000, excluding taxes and options. A Dubai to Houston flight (approximately 16 h 00) represents a budget of €145,000 to €190,000 as a guide, depending on availability, season and direction of travel.
