Hong Kong-based Metrojet has taken delivery of Asia’s first Bombardier Global 8000 into its managed fleet, adding to the growing number of the ultra-long-range type entering service worldwide.
“The arrival of the Global 8000 demonstrates our ability to deliver world-class management solutions for the most sophisticated aircraft in the industry,” said Dave Yip, CEO of Metrojet. “We are already seeing growing interest from other Bombardier owners, and with our established Bombardier maintenance capabilities, we are confident in providing them with the same excellence and assurance that has long defined Metrojet.”
Captain Stewart Borg, director of flight operations at Metrojet, said: “Successfully integrating such a technologically advanced aircraft into our fleet required precision, collaboration and strong expertise.”
Metrojet was established in 1997 by the Kadoorie family and offers aircraft management, maintenance, consultancy and charter services across the Asia-Pacific region. The company was granted a Cayman Islands AOC in 2025.
The delivery follows recent Global 8000 handovers to NetJets and Vista, as Bombardier continues to ramp up deliveries of its flagship aircraft.
