Bombardier Aerospace today announced that VistaJet of Switzerland has placed a firm order for 10 Global 8000 aircraft. The total value of the order is approximately $650 million US, based on the 2011 list price for typically equipped aircraft.
“It was eight years ago, also at the Paris Air Show, that our two companies began this journey, and only six years ago at Paris that VistaJet placed its first Global aircraft order,” said Steve Ridolfi, President, Bombardier Business Aircraft. “It’s a true testament to our products and people that VistaJet, an industry leader in luxury aviation, continues its global expansion with an all-Bombardier fleet. Like Bombardier, VistaJet is a leader in developing new markets, where our aircraft are ideally suited to meet the demanding needs of customers. There is an increasingly strong demand for large cabin business jets that can connect virtually any city pair worldwide non-stop, and the Global 8000 jet is the only contender to meet this requirement.”
