It will also be available as a retrofit solution on in-service Global aircraft models through Bombardier Service Centres.
Venue, which has been installed in more than 850 private and corporate aircraft cabins around the world, is custom built with the most advanced cabin technologies to emulate the latest in home entertainment and boardroom technology. Plus, Venue's open-architecture design provides a path to easily implement future cabin technologies.

“Our long-range Global business jets routinely fly the world's most discerning travellers to remote destinations in the ultimate luxury and comfort. These customers are seeking the same cutting-edge technology in the air as they use in their offices or living rooms.
