Unlocking Nonstop Flights To Los Angeles From Central London
The Bombardier Global 8000 has been cleared to fly London City Airport’s challenging 5.5-degree glide slope, enabling nonstop flights to Los Angeles and other long-haul destinations. The aircraft’s advanced wing design and braking system allow it to descend steeply and stop within the airport’s short runway. NetJets, the launch customer, plans to migrate its Global 7500 fleet to the Global 8000 to maintain access to London City. This development was reported by Simple Flying.
