Passengers will arrive at their destination feeling refreshed after travelling in the patented zero-gravity Nuage seat, while breathing pure cabin air and basking under a circadian lighting system. Introduced in May 2022, the Global 8000 is currently under development, building on the success of Bombardier’s Global 7500 jet.
