Elie Saab links with Bombardier to design new Global 8000 Interior

Elie’s going to get a brand-new plane. Elie Saab has inked a deal with Bombardier to design the interiors of a swish new Global 8000 private jet.

 
The Levantine couturier will create a bespoke interior design for the high-performance plane to be unveiled in 2026 and available for Global 8000 customers to purchase.
 
Bombardier’s Global 8000 is regarded as a no-compromise business aircraft, delivering the fastest speed and best field performance to operate from short runways in all weather conditions. The haute gamme corporate jet has a top speed of Mach 0.95, an impressive range of 8,000 nautical miles, and the lowest cabin altitude in the industry,

The deal marks Bombardier’s first-ever design collaboration with a luxury fashion house such as Elie Saab, underscoring its commitment to providing its customers with the ultimate in personalisation and sophistication.
 
“Partnering with Bombardier marks an important milestone in Elie Saab’s strategic expansion into lifestyle. Together, as two businesses united by family values and a commitment to excellence, we are shaping a new expression of luxury in aviation. By bringing our craftsmanship into dialogue with Bombardier’s engineering mastery, we are creating an experience designed for a global clientele seeking unparalleled refinement and comfort. This vision comes to life in the Global 8000 cabin design, where our signature aesthetic meets Bombardier’s performance leadership to set a new standard for sophistication in air travel,” said Elie Saab Junior, vice chairman and CEO of Elie Saab Group in a release.

 
Éric Martel, president and CEO of Bombardier added: “This collaboration with Elie Saab further sets apart this aircraft’s distinctive characteristics and exemplifies Bombardier’s commitment to offering an unparalleled customer experience.”
