Bombardier brings Global 8000 to South America for first time at Catarina Aviation Show

Bombardier will make the Global 8000’s South American debut at the Catarina Aviation Show in São Paulo, Brazil from May 21 to 23, with the Global 6500 and Challenger 3500 also on display at the event.

The Global 8000, which holds a top speed of Mach 0.95 and a range of 8,000 nautical miles, will be available for tours at the show.

The aircraft can reach destinations including Perth, Vancouver and Dubai non-stop from São Paulo. The jet also features the lowest cabin altitude in business aviation production at 2,691 feet while cruising at 41,000 feet, and its advanced wing design enables access to up to 30% more airports than its closest rival.

The Global 6500, with a top speed of Mach 0.90 and range of 6,600 nautical miles, connects São Paulo to destinations including London, Aspen and Lagos. The Challenger 3500, the most-delivered super mid-size business jet in 2025 at almost double the volume of its nearest competitor, offers a range of 3,400 nautical miles and a top speed of Mach 0.83.

“Bombardier is uniquely positioned in the Brazilian market, and we are delighted to be showcasing the incredible attributes of these impressive aircraft,” said Frank Vento, vice-president of sales for the US and Latin America at Bombardier.

Bombardier’s sales team will be on site to meet customers.

The company also highlighted its regional service network, including the Authorised Service Facility MAGA Aviation at Catarina Airport, which provides line maintenance, parts and tooling for Global, Challenger and Learjet aircraft, as well as its full-service Miami Opa-Locka Service Centre spanning 300,000 square feet.
