Bombardier announced today the delivery of the first Bombardier Global 8000 aircraft in Asia to an undisclosed customer based in Shanghai, marking an important step in the expansion of ultra-long-range business aviation across the region. With its unique combination of speed, range and operational flexibility, the aircraft is exceptionally well suited to meet Asia’s mission profile, where customers value nonstop access between major financial centers, time savings on long-haul travel and the ability to connect seamlessly to destinations around the world.

This milestone delivery reinforces Bombardier’s momentum in Asia and underscores the appeal of the Global 8000 for customers seeking a rare combination of global reach, operational flexibility and uncompromising comfort. This momentum is further reflected in Bombardier’s recent announcement to expand its Singapore Service Centre at JTC’s Seletar Aerospace Park through the addition of a newly built nearby facility of approximately 250,000 square feet, further strengthening its services footprint and customer support capabilities across Asia-Pacific.

Bombardier and ELIE SAAB are proud to unveil a bold new chapter in business aviation: a bespoke cabin design for the Global 8000 aircraft that redefines the onboard experience through the lens of haute couture.

This landmark, first-of-its-kind collaboration brings together Bombardier’s industry-leading engineering and performance with ELIE SAAB’s timeless design expertise, elevating the world’s fastest(1) business jet’s cabin into a refined living environment where precision, comfort and timeless elegance converge. The unveiling took place at Bombardier’s Aviator Lounge, the company’s curated, immersive flagship in Monaco during the Formula 1 Grand Prix, placing the project at the intersection of performance, design and refined living.


This collaboration reflects a natural alignment between two globally renowned brands, united by a shared commitment to serving a discerning global clientele with uncompromising standards of quality, precision, and sophistication.

“When we began discussions with ELIE SAAB, the Global 8000 was already well on the path to becoming a certified, operational aircraft. This allowed us to go beyond concepts and rethink the cabin as a true living space, while fully respecting the performance and operational realities of the aircraft,” said Éric Martel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bombardier. “This collaboration pushes the boundaries of business aviation and reflects our relentless focus on elevating the customer experience.”

For ELIE SAAB, whose creative universe has long extended beyond fashion into the worlds of design and interiors, the project was both intuitive and deeply personal. The Global 8000 cabin has been reimagined as a sophisticated, harmonious space, defined by clean architectural lines, rich materials and a warm, timeless palette that enhances both openness and fluidity.

“With Bombardier, we approached this collaboration with an haute couture mindset, elevating every material and detail into a carefully curated expression of luxury, precision and design excellence. This project also reflects our desire to accompany our clients in their daily lives wherever they are, extending the ELIE SAAB universe into every moment of their journey. It is truly a new approach to private aviation, where travel becomes a seamless continuation of refined living,” said Elie Saab Jr., CEO of ELIE SAAB.

Designed as an intimate yet open and highly personalized environment, the cabin translates a refined way of living into the experience of private travel. Bathed in natural light, the interior reveals a serene and spacious sanctuary characterized by fluid architectural lines, expansive sightlines and a warm, harmonious palette. At its centre, a generous lounge area serves as the heart of the cabin, offering an inviting setting designed to foster well-being, connection and effortless comfort.

Behind the elegant simplicity of the cabin lies a highly complex and deeply collaborative process. Bombardier’s engineering teams worked hand-in-hand with ELIE SAAB to translate couture-inspired design into a fully certifiable aircraft interior, meeting the rigorous technical, safety and performance standards of business aviation.

This exclusive Global 8000 cabin offering marks a defining milestone in Bombardier’s continued evolution, not only as a leader in aviation, but as a brand shaping the future of its industry. Now available to Global 8000 customers as an option, this distinctive cabin concept reflects a natural extension of ELIE SAAB’s universe into new dimensions of lifestyle and design, reinforcing its ambition to accompany clients wherever they are, and to bring its distinctive design philosophy into every aspect of their lives – even in flight.
