The Global 8000 boasts a top speed of Mach 0.95 and a range of 8,000 nautical miles, capable of connecting cities like São Paulo with Perth, Vancouver, or Dubai non-stop. When cruising at 41,000 feet, its cabin pressure altitude is equivalent to 2,691 feet, offering enhanced comfort and reducing the physiological effects of long-haul flights. Additionally, Bombardier will exhibit the Global 6500, which has a speed of Mach 0.90 and a range of 6,600 nautical miles. It is specifically designed for operations at airports with short runways, high temperatures, and high altitudes, scenarios common in many parts of Latin America. Possible direct flight routes include connections between São Paulo and Aspen, London, or Lagos.

Another aircraft on display will be the Challenger 3500. This super-midsize jet became the most delivered business jet in its segment in 2025, with deliveries nearly double that of its closest competitor. The model has a range of 3,400 nautical miles and a maximum speed of Mach 0.83, connecting destinations such as St. Maarten, El Calafate, and Dakar.

During the event, Bombardier's sales team will host clients and partners interested in the manufacturer's solutions. Bombardier also highlighted its support structure for operators in the region, including operations by MAGA Aviation at Catarina Airport, providing maintenance, parts, and tools for the Global, Challenger, and Learjet aircraft families. The company operates a service center of approximately 28,000 square meters in Miami and has around 100 support units worldwide.

Frank Vento, Bombardier's Vice President of Sales for the Americas and Latin America, stated: "The Global 8000 currently sits at the pinnacle of business aviation, while the Global 6500 and Challenger 3500 are aircraft with proven performance. The Catarina Aviation Show is an excellent opportunity to showcase the advantages of these aircraft to the Brazilian market."
