“ Martel said during the press conference that current Global 7500 owners would be able to “retrofit” their aircraft to obtain the same speed and range as the Global 8000. The 7500 would also be phased out when the 8000, which has a base price of $78 million, enters service in 2025.”
I wonder how much the “Retrofit” for the 7500 will cost? I bet it will not be cheap.
Except for the small added range and “Bragging Rights” about the speed, of Mach .94 up from Mach .925 probably not worth the price.
