Oct 13 (Reuters) - Bombardier added a new

order from Comlux Aviation for its Global 8000 business jet to

its backlog, the Canadian planemaker announced on Monday during

the National Business Aviation Association's annual conference.

The company is still on track this year to deliver the first

Global 8000, which it claims is the fastest purpose-built

business jet in the world. Also on Monday, the company said the

jet had set a new top speed at 0.95 mach, or about 729 miles per

hour.

The company has not yet revealed who will take the first

Global 8000 delivery later this year. Comlux, a Swiss-based

charter airline and aviation services company, is slated to take

possession of its Global 8000 in 2026, according to Bombardier.
