Global 7500
Global 7500 at a glance
The Bombardier Global 7500 flies 7,700 nautical miles nonstop, linking New York with Hong Kong, and created the modern ultra-long-range flagship class when it entered service in 2018, six years ahead of the Gulfstream G700. Its four-zone cabin, four distinct living spaces plus an optional crew rest, set the template every rival has since followed.
More than 200 have been delivered, and the aircraft holds the record for the longest business jet flight in history, 8,225 nautical miles flown in 2019. The 7500's General Electric Passport engines and Smooth Flex wing give it short-field performance unusual for its size, letting operators use airports such as London City that turn away comparable jets.

Market position
The Global 7500 competes directly with the Gulfstream G700, and the two split the ultra-long-range volume market almost evenly, with the Global 8000 now positioned above it as the performance flagship. Bombardier sells the 7500 on maturity, six years of service history and a worldwide support fleet, an argument that lands with fleet buyers such as NetJets and VistaJet, both of which operate the type in numbers.
Bombardier, the Montreal-based manufacturer that builds only business jets since selling its commercial aircraft and rail businesses, assembles the Global family in Toronto and completes interiors in Montreal.
