Aviation

It's rather difficult to argue against Dassault Aviation's Falcon 6X being the very best in its class. Bigger isn't always better but in this case, it's true. It is, after all, the aerospace company's largest and most robust business jet in the brand's 60-year history, a real successor to Dassault's fabled aircraft heritage.

For all the cachet and romance of private aviation, it’s typically the sheer utility that wins over buyers in the end: the flexibility of flight times, the ease of dedicated airports, the direct flight to a factory, regional office or secluded executive offsite. But yes, there’s also trading Maafaru for Male International, and the next-level comforts of a cabin to call one’s own.

When Bombardier first introduced the Global 8000, it showed the possibilities yet unchartered for a private jet in its class. The jet manufacturer took the best qualities of the Global 8000's predecessor, the Global 7500, and transformed them into a flagship of unparalleled long-haul excellence. Soon, it will be the fastest and longest-range purpose-built business jet in the world, bolstering the brand's impeccable portfolio.

“We’ve seen a tremendous change in business aviation usage,” says Jean-Christophe Gallagher, “pre- and post-pandemic.” Bombardier’s executive vice president of aircraft sales & defense appears to be invulnerable to jet lag, having touched down at 7 am that September morning after travelling halfway across the world from the United States – and looking none the worse for wear.
