Boasting the lowest cabin altitude in business aviation production at 2,691 ft. while cruising at 41,000 ft., the Global 8000minimizes the physiological stress associated with high altitude travel, helping passengers arrive at their destinations feeling refreshed and ready to perform. With its impressive range, the aircraft can connect travellers from key city pairs, including São Paulo to Perth, São Paulo to Vancouver and São Paulo to Dubai. In addition to its long-range capabilities, low cabin altitude and exceptionally smooth ride, the aircraft remains remarkably agile, with takeoff and landing performance comparable to that of a light jet. Its advanced wing design featuring unique leading-edge slats enables customers to master up to 30% more airports than its closest rival.
