Charter a Bombardier Global 8000 Ultra Long Range Jet

The Global 8000 entered production in 2024 as the highest-performance variant of the Global 7500 platform. Launch customer in November 2022, placing a firm order for four aircraft and converting existing Global 7500 orders to the 8000. Its equipped price in 2023 was $81 million.

The Bombardier Global 8000 is an ultra long range twin-engine jet built by Bombardier Aviation. In production since 2024, it carries up to 19 passengers across an 8,000-nautical-mile range at 540 knots. Twin General Electric Passport 20 engines deliver a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.95. The 54.4-foot four-zone cabin is identical to the Global 7500, including a permanent bedroom and a full-size kitchen.

The Global 8000 starts from the same platform as the Global 7500 and adds four specific improvements: more range, higher cruise speed, higher MTOW, and a higher climb rate.

First, the GE Passport 20 engines were uprated by up to 7% in thrust, enabling the 8,000 nm range and the higher maximum operating speed of Mach 0.95. A flight test prototype reached Mach 1.015 during envelope expansion testing.

Second, fuel volume was increased to support the additional 300 nm of range, and the MTOW rose to 116,000 lbs from the Global 7500's 114,250 lbs.

Third, the flight envelope was expanded from the Global 7500's Mach 0.925 to Mach 0.95, making the Global 8000 the fastest business jet in the world and the fastest civilian aircraft since Concorde.

Fourth, avionics updates include automatic ADS selection and other changes incorporated from serial numbers 70240 and 70250 onward. All of these changes are also available to existing Global 7500 owners through a Bombardier service bulletin.

The Global 8000 occupies an unusual position: it is simultaneously a new production aircraft and a service bulletin upgrade available to existing Global 7500 operators. Bombardier designed the improvements to be retrofittable from the outset.

The launch customer was named in November 2022, paying US$312 million for four firm Global 8000 orders and converting eight existing Global 7500 orders. Also announced plans to convert its entire Global 7500 aircraft to Global 8000 standard.

The equipped price of a new Global 8000 was $81 million in 2023, approximately $10 million more than the Global 7500. The development cost was described by Bombardier as low relative to the performance improvements, given the shared platform.

The Global 8000 shares its transonic wing and four-zone cabin with the Global 7500, meaning crew training, maintenance procedures, and parts inventory transfer directly between the two variants.

An ultra long range jet operates at a significantly higher hourly rate in exchange for transoceanic range, a four-zone cabin, and capabilities unavailable on heavy jets.

• More range: 8,000 nm covers virtually all global city pairs nonstop, well beyond the 4,000 to 4,350 nm of leading heavy jets.
• Higher speed: 540 ktas cruise versus 459 to 488 ktas for most heavy jets, saving meaningful time on very long sectors.
• Four zones: permanent bedroom, full-size kitchen, and dedicated living areas versus one to three zones in most heavy jets.
• Higher ceiling: 51,000 ft versus 41,000 to 45,000 ft for most heavy jets, enabling flight above nearly all commercial traffic.
• Best mission: executive groups where maximum range and highest cruise speed are priorities on sectors of 12 to 17 hours.

The Global 8000 seats up to 19 passengers across four fully separated living spaces, identical in layout to the Global 7500.

• A forward living area with Nuage ergonomic club seating and full-height cabin dividers.
• A dining suite with a full-size kitchen including an oven, microwave, and a dedicated crew workspace.
• A private entertainment or lounge area separating the forward and aft sections.
• A permanent dedicated bedroom at the aft of the cabin, with an adjacent master lavatory.
• Soleil circadian lighting, Ka-band Wi-Fi, and cabin humidity systems are standard; cabin noise level is 50 dB, among the quietest in the ultra long range class.
• 195 cubic feet of baggage space.

The Bombardier Global 8000 cabin is 54.4 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6.2 feet tall. Cabin pressurization holds a 4,500-foot equivalent altitude at cruise. Four fully separated zones include a permanent bedroom and a full-size kitchen. The aircraft seats up to 19 passengers with 195 cubic feet of baggage capacity.

Within the Global family, the 8000 offers 300 nm more range and a higher cruise speed than the 7500, with identical cabin dimensions and the same four-zone layout. The Global 7500 provides the same four living spaces at a lower entry cost and is upgradable to Global 8000 standard through a service bulletin.

The 8,000-nautical-mile range covers virtually all global city pairs nonstop. London to Perth (about 7,830 nm) is within reach under favorable conditions; New York to Singapore (about 8,280 nm) is beyond the range and typically needs a fuel stop.

The cost to charter a Bombardier Global 8000 is typically $14,000–$20,000 per flight hour. New York to London one-way rental runs approximately $140,000 to $180,000. New York to Dubai one-way charter price is approximately $260,000 to $310,000. Final all-in cost depends on operator, routing, positioning, and season. Fuel, crew, and maintenance are included in the hourly rate; landing fees, taxes, and repositioning are billed separately.

The Global 8000 uses the same GE Passport 20 engines and transonic wing as the Global 7500, with a higher MTOW, more range, and a faster cruise speed. Existing Global 7500s are upgradable to Global 8000 standard through a Bombardier service bulletin.

Every Bombardier Global 8000 charter coordinated by Hogani Jets is operated by an FAA Part 135 certificated direct air carrier holding full operational control of the flight. Each operator's certificate, insurance coverage, and safety record are independently reviewed before Hogani Jets coordinates a booking. Hogani Jets is an air charter broker and does not own or operate aircraft.

The Global 8000 carries the Bombardier Vision Flight Deck with Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics, four 15.1-inch touchscreen displays, and updated automatic ADS selection. Fly-by-wire flight controls are standard. Twin General Electric Passport 20 engines power the type. Bombardier Aviation and GE Aerospace provide full parts and engineering support.

The Global 8000 suits executive groups where maximum range and the highest cruise speed are the priorities.
