The Global 8000 Is Almost Here—Is It the Smart Move in 2025?

The world’s fastest business jet (on paper) meets real owner priorities: speed, cabin, resale.

Intro:
Bombardier is in the home stretch to certify and deliver the Global 8000. For owners of 7500s (and late‑model Globals), the questions are timing, performance, and economics—including the much‑discussed retrofit kit.

What’s Actually New vs. Global 7500

• Performance bump (high‑Mach cruise, range).

• Cabin tweaks, cockpit, and systems.

The Retrofit: Turning a 7500 into “8000 spec”

• What the kit includes; expected downtime; rough cost/benefit.

• Certification and warranty implications.

Who Should Move—and When

• Ultra‑long‑range flyers vs. transcon shuttlers.

• Residual trends: pre‑EIS hype vs. post‑EIS reality.

Financing, Slots & Delivery Strategy

• How to structure deposits and bridge lift until delivery.

• Charter‑revenue offsets while you wait.

We’ll benchmark a Global 8000 path for you—including slot access and trade‑in options.
