Bombardier's Global 8000 Business Jet Sets First Speed Record on Montreal-Nice Flight -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06-05

0813 ET - Bombardier is proving its latest business jet goes fast. The Canadian aircraft maker says that its new Global 8000 jet set its first speed record on a flight departing from Montreal, Canada and landing in Nice, France. The aircraft completed the journey in just over six hours. Boasting a top speed of Mach 0.95 and a range of 8,000 nautical-miles, Bombardier says the Global 8000 is the fastest and most luxurious aircraft in the industry. In addition to its long-range capabilities, the aircraft is also remarkably agile, with takeoff and landing performance comparable to that of a light jet, Bombardier says. An advanced wing design also enables customers to master up to 30% more airports than its closest rival, the company says. (adriano.marchese@wsj.com)
