Bombardier is showcasing its Global 8000 at the Catarina Aviation Show from May 21 to 23 in São Paulo, Brazil, marking the South American debut for the Mach 0.95 aircraft. The aircraft will accompany a Global 6500 and Challenger 3500 on the Catarina static display, Bombardier said.
The Canadian aircraft manufacturer is hoping to expand its marketshare in the region with its newest flagship, which succeeds the Global 7500. Noting that the Global 8000 has an 8,000-nm range, Bombardier pointed out key city pairs that the aircraft can connect from São Paulo: Perth, Vancouver, and Dubai. The company is also highlighting its cabin altitude of 2,691 feet at FL410 and ability to get into a <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2025-10-13/bombardier-global-7500-has-30-runway-landing-advantage">wider range of airports</a>.
“Being onsite at the Catarina Aviation Show provides Bombardier with the perfect opportunity to showcase the incredible performance and design attributes of these incredible aircraft,” said Frank Vento, Bombardier’s v-p of sales for the U.S. and Latin America. “Bombardier is uniquely positioned in the Brazilian market.”
Meanwhile, the 6,600-nm Global 6500 can connect São Paulo to either Aspen, London, or Lagos, and the super-midsize Challenger 3500 reach St. Maarten, El Calafate, and Dakar from São Paulo.
