More details:
http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articl ... ts-379488/

So a total of 6 new firm orders for Global 8000, and 6 options.

Vistajet is also the launch customer:
http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articl ... rs-358512/

Does it mean that the firm order total stands at 16 Global 8000-s for Vistajet, or has Vistajet made more orders in the meantime?

Global 8000 shall enter into service in 2017. Does anyone have a flight simulator of Global 8000?

I pity and poor B'stards who have to work on them. Bombardier do not build aircraft, they assemble them from a box of bits that are sent from the four corners of this world. If it is anything like the quality of the Q400, then we should start crying now.................

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
