In a move set to redefine the very notion of luxury in the skies, Bombardier and ELIE SAAB have announced an exclusive collaboration to craft a uniquely elegant interior design for the Global 8000 — the Canadian manufacturer’s flagship, no-compromise business jet.
Bringing together Bombardier’s engineering mastery and ELIE SAAB’s world-renowned couture sensibility, this partnership marks a rare convergence of two maisons driven by craftsmanship, heritage, and a deep respect for detail. The result: an interior concept where comfort becomes an art form and refinement is engineered into every contour.

The bespoke ELIE SAAB cabin, which will be officially unveiled in 2026, promises an environment where aesthetic purity, material excellence, and functional innovation exist in perfect harmony. Global 8000 customers will have the privilege of selecting this exclusive design, transforming each journey into a personal expression of elegance.
Éric Martel, President and CEO of Bombardier, emphasised the aircraft’s already extraordinary pedigree:
Global 8000 customers enjoy unparalleled speed, comfort and versatility, operating from short runways in any weather with the lowest cabin altitude in the industry. Our collaboration with ELIE SAAB elevates this experience even further, creating something absolutely unique.”
For ELIE SAAB, this partnership marks a strategic milestone in its expansion into lifestyle and high-end environments.
Elie Saab Junior, Vice Chairman and CEO of ELIE SAAB Group, notes:
United by heritage and excellence, we are shaping a new expression of luxury in aviation. The Global 8000 cabin brings our signature aesthetic into dialogue with Bombardier’s performance leadership to redefine sophistication in air travel.”
With a top speed of Mach 0.95, a range of 8,000 nautical miles, and the industry’s lowest cabin altitude, the Global 8000 stands as the ultimate expression of long-range travel without compromise. Its remarkable field performance — enabling operations from shorter runways — further underscores its versatility for demanding global travellers.
Bombardier’s commitment to craftsmanship and innovation, paired with ELIE SAAB’s unmistakable artistic identity, positions this collaboration as a defining moment in modern business aviation:
a meeting of engineering precision and couture-level beauty — where the journey becomes as elevated as the destination.
