Bombardier and Lebanese fashion house Elie Saab have unveiled a bespoke cabin design for the Global 8000, the first time the Canadian airframer has partnered with a couture brand to shape a business jet interior. The design is now being offered to Global 8000 customers as an option.
The companies presented the concept at Bombardier’s Aviator Lounge, the OEM’s hospitality space in Monaco, during the Formula 1 Grand Prix. The partnership—<a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2025-11-17/elie-saab-designing-cabin-bombardier-global-8000">first announced in November</a>—aimed to recast the business jet’s cabin as a residential-style living space.
“When we began discussions with Elie Saab, the Global 8000 was already well on the path to becoming a certified, operational aircraft. This allowed us to go beyond concepts and rethink the cabin as a true living space, while fully respecting the performance and operational realities of the aircraft,” said Bombardier president and CEO Éric Martel. “This collaboration pushes the boundaries of business aviation and reflects our relentless focus on elevating the customer experience.”
The reimagined interior centers on a lounge area positioned as the cabin’s focal point and emphasizes natural light, uninterrupted sightlines, clean architectural lines, and a warm color palette.&nbsp;
“With Bombardier, we approached this collaboration with a haute couture mindset, elevating every material and detail into a carefully curated expression of luxury, precision, and design excellence,” said Elie Saab Jr., CEO of Elie Saab.
