Bombardier Global 8000 — Greatest Range, Fastest Ultra Heavy Jet
The Bombardier Global 8000 is the world's fastest certified business jet and simultaneously holds the range record among production aircraft. With a range of 14,800 km and a cruise speed of Mach 0.94, the Global 8000 connects Frankfurt with virtually every point on the globe non-stop. The 4-zone cabin offers a full sleeping area, office, dining room, and lounge — at the highest Bombardier quality standard.
For clients who want maximum range combined with the highest speed. Direct comparison: the G700 has a slightly wider cabin; the Global 8000 is faster and has more range. Both are excellent choices.

From around €19,000 for short legs. Transatlantic (Frankfurt–New York) runs €130,000–200,000. For long-haul routes to Australia or Asia (Frankfurt–Sydney, Frankfurt–Tokyo), prices of €280,000–420,000 are typical.
Both are top-tier Ultra Heavy Jets. The Global 8000 is faster (Mach 0.94 vs. Mach 0.925) and has more range (14,800 km vs. 13,890 km). The G700 has a slightly wider cabin (2.49 m vs. 2.44 m) and more touchscreen technology. Both compete directly.
With a range of 14,800 km, the Global 8000 covers Frankfurt–Tokyo (9,200 km), Frankfurt–Los Angeles (9,300 km), and Frankfurt–Buenos Aires (11,400 km) non-stop. Frankfurt–Sydney (16,400 km) requires one short stop.
The Global 8000 uses Smoothflex technology to maintain cabin pressure equivalent to 2,438 m altitude — significantly lower than typical airliner cabins and comparable jets, reducing travel fatigue noticeably.
