Bombardier’s Global 8000 business aircraft has now received U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification, the company has announced.
The FAA certification follows the Transport Canada Type Certification on 5 November 2025. The aircraft officially entered into service in December 2025 and the certification from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is pending.
“This accomplishment is a direct result of the commitment to excellence and dedicated work of our highly skilled employees, suppliers, Transport Canada and the FAA for a collaborative, effective process,” said Stephen McCullough, Senior Vice President, Engineering and Product Development, Bombardier.
“Attaining the Global 8000 certification from the FAA sets new performance standards in the industry and marks one of the final chapters in our very successful development program for this groundbreaking business jet.”
Bombardier says the Global 8000’s cabins feature the lowest cabin altitude in business aviation production at 2,691 ft., making customers feel like they are standing atop the Burj Khalifa as they cruise at 41,000 ft. The aircraft offers a range of 8,000 NM, enabling non-stop travel between more city pairs than ever before.
