Bombardier recently celebrated fleet operator Vista, a longtime Bombardier customer, taking possession of its first Global 8000 aircraft at the company’s London Biggin Hill Service Centre.
This introduction marks the beginning of upgrades to Vista’s current Global 7500 aircraft, with two per month planned leading to the full fleet of 18 being operational as Global 8000 jets by year end and in turn marking the largest subscription fleet available of this revolutionary jet.
Boasting a range of 8,000 NM and a top speed of Mach 0.95, the Bombardier Global 8000 aircraft will enable Vista customers to reach their destinations faster and in greater comfort than ever before.
Extreme comfort
With the longest seated length in its class and signature cabin features such as the lowest cabin altitude in business aviation production, passengers will experience extreme comfort throughout their journey, arriving at their destinations rested, refreshed and ready to perform.
“With the addition of the Global 8000 to its fleet, Vista will offer its customers the best of what is possible in the industry,” stated Eric Martel, President and CEO, Bombardier.
“For our members, greater speed and extended range translate directly into practical benefits such as reaching their destination faster or travelling more efficiently with direct flights. With more Members flying further and more frequently, these capabilities allow us to offer greater flexibility while maintaining the consistency and service that sets Vista apart,” commented Thomas Flohr, Founder and Chairman, Vista.
