NetJets is hightailing it into new, ultra-fast territory. 

The private aviation company took delivery of a new Bombardier Global 8000 on Thursday, meaning its clients will be able to fly faster and farther than ever before. 

Launched in 2025, the Global 8000 is the world’s fastest civilian jet since the Concorde, with a lightning-quick top speed of Mach 0.95, or 627 mph. (It even went supersonic, reaching Mach 1.015 during test flight in 2021.) The newcomer also offers an ultra-long range of 8,000 nautical miles, or nearly 17 hours, enabling travel between more city pairs than ever before, including nonstop flights from Dubai to Houston, Singapore to Los Angeles, and London to Perth. 

The aircraft is agile, too, with an advanced wing design that reportedly allows it to takeoff and land like a light jet. It can touchdown at up to 30 percent more airports—the equivalent of more than 2,000 destinations—than its closest rival, according to Bombardier. As such, the Global 8000 will give NetJets more route options. 

Clients will be flying in greater comfort, too. The Global 8000 offers the longest seated length in its class, with ergonomic Nuage seats that fully recline to improve circulation and reduce back pressure. The jet also has the lowest cabin altitude in its class—that is, 2,691 feet while cruising at 41,000 feet. The roughly 55-foot-long cabin also features Pur air circulation, an advanced HEPA air filtration system, and circadian rhythm lighting. All of that maximises comfort and minimizes jet lag. The cabin can seat up to 19 passengers, but is often configured with eight to 12 seats for a roomier feel.

“The Global 8000 is redefining the business aviation landscape with its unmatched performance, signature smooth ride, and innovative design, and we are thrilled to be providing our longtime, valued partner NetJets with its first Global 8000 aircraft,” Bombardier president and CEO Éric Martel said in a statement. 

This is only the beginning, too. NetJets plans to build a 24-strong fleet of Global 8000 aircraft that will replace the in-service Global 7500 jets.

“The range and features of the Global 8000 aircraft perfectly align with NetJets’ commitment to offering safety, service, and access at an extraordinary level and empowering owners to do more and miss less,” adds NetJets president Patrick Gallagher.

New territory, indeed.
