(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.
