Bombardier recorded the largest sale in its history on November 27. Luxury aviation company, VistaJet, signed a deal with the manufacturer for up to 142 Global business jets at a current list price of more than $7.8 billion.
The deal includes a firm order for 56 jets and options for a further 86 planes, making the firm order worth $3.1 billion at current prices. The firm order comprises 25 Global 5000, 25 Global 6000 and six Global 8000 jets. Deliveries of these aircraft will begin in 2014.
“By any standard, this is a historic order for Bombardier. It goes without saying that we are thrilled VistaJet has again chosen to grow their fleet with the industry-leading Global family,” said Steve Ridolfi, President, Bombardier Business Aircraft.
