AIN reported on 8 September 2026 that Comlux is adding a pair of Bombardier Global 8000 jets and a Global 6500. Charles Alcock's piece put the move in the Middle East and Africa. The dek on the AIN page is plain: two Global 8000s, plus a 6500.

That matches what Comlux said a week earlier.

On 1 September, from Zurich, the company said a second Global 8000 had entered its managed fleet. The first arrived in April 2026. Comlux called that April aircraft the first Global 8000 under management. Five months between the two is fast for a new type.

The 1 September aircraft and its engines are on manufacturer maintenance programmes, Comlux said. Andrea Zanetto is chief executive of Comlux Aviation. He said another owner choosing the group so soon after the first Global 8000 pointed to the relationships it has with clients.

Comlux Aviation sits inside Comlux Group in Switzerland. It runs operations, management and charter for VIP work.

This is separate from the firm order Bombardier announced at NBAA-BACE in October 2025. That order was one Global 8000 for delivery in 2026. Comlux told ch-aviation then that the charter aircraft was likely to be based in Dubai. The jets now joining the managed fleet are owner aircraft. Do not mix a 2025 purchase with this week's management wins.

AIN's photograph on that 8 September page shows a Malta-registered Global 8000 as the latest addition to the managed fleet.

For the charter market the useful fact is concentration. A manager that holds two of a new ultra-long-range type, with a Global 6500 also coming, will have more hours to sell. It will also have more cover when one aircraft is in check. Owners looking for a home for a Global 7500 or Global 8000 will notice who already has the type on the certificate.

Goodall Aviation is not in aircraft management. We source ACMI and wet lease lift when a fleet has a gap. More Globals in one operator's system can mean more ad hoc availability. They can also mean less, if those airframes stay on owner programmes. Details sit on the contact page.
