11:19 AM EDT, 04/08/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Bombardier (BBD-B.TO) on Tuesday said its Global 8000 business jet program is progressing to plan, with its first Global 8000 production aircraft continuing in the assembly phase in the Greater Toronto Area toward a planned entry-into-service in 2025.

The company said the jet will be the fastest civil aircraft since the Concorde, with a top speed of Mach 0.94 and range of 8,000 nautical miles

"Bombardier's Global 8000 possesses outstanding short-field capabilities, with the ability to access smaller airports other aircraft in its category can't access," said Stephen McCullough, Senior Vice President, Engineering and Product Development.

The company's shares were last seen up $1.59 to $77.76 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
