Bombardier Defense will have a strong presence at the Farnborough International Airshow on July-20-24, showcasing its proven solutions based on the top-performing Challenger and Global platforms. Among the highlights of Bombardier's presence at the show will be the first ever aerial display of the Global 8000 aircraft, whose performance capabilities make it the flagship of the business aviation industry as well as an ideal vehicle for the most demanding special missions, including head of state.
Bombardier Defense has a longstanding presence in Europe, and will be looking to build and deepen relationships during the Farnborough airshow at a time when countries around the world are looking to enhance and modernize their airborne defense capabilities.
"Bombardier Defense has built a strong reputation across Europe and we are delighted to be showcasing our outstanding expertise at the show, which aligns with Europe's focus on readiness and capability modernization," said Stephen McCullough, Executive Vice President, Engineering, Product Development and Bombardier Defense. "As European nations face evolving defense needs, Bombardier Defense is ready to provide mission-ready solutions built around trusted aircraft like the Global 6500 and the Global 8000, where agility, endurance and reliability are required to rapidly address capability gaps."
Bombardier's impressive Global aircraft family is already in strong demand from governments and militaries around the world. The Global 6500 platform in particular has been selected for a variety of special missions in Canada, the United States, Germany, Sweden, Korea and Australia, among other nations.
The Global 8000 business jet, which entered service in 2025 as the world's fastest civilian aircraft, has extraordinary potential as a special mission vehicle. It also boasts a large payload volume, exceptional range of 8,000 NM and low cabin altitude of 820 m (2,691 ft.) (1). The Global 8000 aircraft's impressive range converts to extra long endurance on station, and its unique design ensures it can access 30% more airfields than its closest competitor. The Global 8000 aircraft offers a productive and secure environment that is ideal for a number of missions, including Head of State transport. Like all Bombardier aircraft, the Global 8000 aircraft can be outfitted with secure communications, navigation and self-protection systems.
For the first time at an airshow, the Global 8000 aircraft will take part in the aerial display at Farnborough, showcasing its class-leading short-field takeoff capabilities, impressive climb capabilities and remarkable agility for customers and aviation enthusiasts.
Bombardier also ensures its outstanding mission readiness through comprehensive product support across our European network, including dynamic services facilities in London Biggin Hill and Berlin, and Line Maintenance Stations in Farnborough, Paris, Geneva, Luton Nice and Linz. A new 51,000 sq. ft paint facility is set to open at the London Biggin Hill Service Centre.
