The order was announced at the 2015 EBACE show, with Lauda in attendance.

“The latest order by Mr. Lauda further demonstrates the widespread appeal of Global aircraft,” said , senior vice president, sales, Bombardier Business Aircraft, Peter Likoray “Once again, we are honoured to have Mr. Lauda as a long-time and loyal Bombardier customer. With its combination of performance and comfort, the Global 7000 business jet will deliver the ultimate flying experience.”

Lauda currently owns and operates a Global 6000 that he often flies himself. The aircraft recently won a private jet design award at the 2015 International Yacht & Aviation Awards for its interior.

“The Global 7000 aircraft is an incredible business jet in so many ways,” says Lauda. “The cabin is large and spacious and the four separate zones provide greater comfort, especially for longer trips. With its impressive range and speed, I can easily fly from Vienna to São Paolo, and almost all other stops along the Formula 1 circuit, quickly and efficiently.”
