• New record-setting missions include essential city pairs from Miami to São Paulo, Tokyo to Los Angeles, Jeddah to London and London to Bahrain, accentuating the jet’s outstanding performance attributes
• Records continue to mount as Global 7500 aircraft is showcased for customer demonstrations and other essential missions worldwide
• With a fleet nearing 200 deliveries and more than 180,000 flying hours in the books, the Global 7500 continues to set the industry standard in the ultra-long-range class: proven, reliable and luxurious

MONTRÉAL, Aug. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bombardier today announced that its industry-leading Global 7500 business jet continues to pile up speed records, adding to its already impressive record-setting performances by reaching more than 50 records in less than 50 weeks. Some of the most impressive new industry records ⁽¹⁾ include essential city pairs from Miami to São Paulo, Tokyo to Los Angeles, Jeddah to London and London to Bahrain. To further accentuate the Global 7500 aircraft’s incredible performance attributes, the average speed of its 10 fastest new records is clocked at more than 1,000 km/h.

Exceptional performance and pristine luxury are the Global 7500 jet’s calling cards. With a top speed of Mach 0.925 and a baseline range of 7,700 nautical miles (14,260 km), the Global 7500 is the ultimate record-setting time machine, bringing key destinations closer and closer. The aircraft’s Smooth Flĕx Wing is like an in-air shock absorber, designed with a sophisticated slats and flap system that generates exceptional lift on takeoff and approach, maximizing aerodynamic efficiency and boosting performance while improving safety and offering the industry’s smoothest ride. It also reduces fuel burn, lowers emissions and produces excellent short-field and high-speed performance – the type of journey its discerning customers strive for.

“With every new speed record, the Global 7500 aircraft builds on its well-deserved reputation as the most impressive ultra long-range aircraft in the skies today,” said Jean-Christophe Gallagher, Executive Vice President, Aircraft Sales and Bombardier Defense. “In terms of its design attributes, unique technological advancements and more, the Global 7500 aircraft is unmatched for its reliability, productivity and style.”

Performance attributes notwithstanding, the Global 7500 aircraft is in a class by itself in terms of design excellence. This exquisite business jet is the ultimate home office in the sky, a productive business tool that offers customers all the accoutrements of their preferred work environment. The aircraft boasts a stunning, spacious interior featuring four true living spaces, a full-size, superbly equipped kitchen and a dedicated crew suite, offering customers the ultimate in-flight experience. Other innovative design elements set the benchmark for the most exceptional cabin interior in business aviation, including Bombardier’s patented Nuage seat, which features the industry’s first zero-gravity position.

The incredible attributes of the Global 7500 aircraft will be enhanced even more with the introduction of the Global 8000 ⁽²⁾ aircraft, announced in 2022. Bombardier’s flagship of a new era will boast an industry-leading range of 8,000 nautical miles and an unbeatable top speed of Mach 0.94, making it the ultimate all-in-one business aircraft. It will also feature the lowest cabin altitude of less than 2,900 feet when flying at 41,000 ft. – lower than any business jet today. Bombardier’s Global 8000 aircraft development is ongoing and the program is progressing to plan toward entry into service in 2025.
