RIYADH, November 19, 2025 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) – Bombardier and luxury fashion house Elie Saab announced a new partnership to develop a passenger cabin design for the Global 8000 aircraft, marking the aviation company’s first design collaboration with a global luxury brand.

In a joint statement, the companies said the Elie Saab–designed cabin will integrate refined aesthetics, craftsmanship, and functional innovation to create an interior where comfort and elegance “seamlessly meet.” The design will be formally unveiled in 2026.

Customers purchasing the Global 8000 will have the option to select the Elie Saab cabin, which the firms described as an elevated expression of luxury within business aviation.

Founded in Lebanon in 1982, Elie Saab has expanded its presence across several lifestyle sectors. The company said the collaboration with Bombardier represents an important step in its broader strategic growth.

“Partnering with Bombardier marks an important milestone in Elie Saab’s strategic expansion into lifestyle. Together, as two businesses united by family values and a commitment to excellence, we are shaping a new expression of luxury in aviation,” said Elie Saab Group vice chairman and CEO Elie Saab Jr.

The fashion house has recently broadened its portfolio, unveiling its first branded hotel in the Swiss Alps in December and introducing its inaugural yacht project earlier this year. The yacht initiative, developed in partnership with Italian shipyard Maiora under the Next Yacht Group, features the 42 Exuma model, presented in Viareggio, Italy.
