MONTREAL, March 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bombardier today announced that its industry-defining Global 7500 is actively touring Asia this week with planned customer meetings in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Seoul. These exclusive touch points come fresh on the heels of an incredibly successful month for the Global 7500, as it recently just set more than 30 flight records⁽¹⁾ – the latest accomplishments that shine a light on the undisputed leader in the ultra-long-range class. Simply put, the Global 7500 is the most luxurious, reliable and productive business jet in the skies today.

“As Asian companies go global to connect with their customers, operations and supply chain interests, we have designed the ultimate home in the sky to help them accomplish these tasks – the Global 7500 aircraft,” said Emmanuel Bornand, Vice President, International, Business Aircraft Sales, Bombardier. “The Global 7500 is the first purpose built four-zone aircraft with a proven track record of more than 165 aircraft delivered providing our customers with the largest cabin, smoothest ride longest range and lowest cabin altitude.”

In terms of performance, the Global 7500 continues to deliver for customers and build on its record-setting pedigree. With a top speed of Mach 0.925 and an industry leading range of 7,700 nautical miles (14,260 km), the Global 7500 aircraft features outstanding performance capabilities. Its Smooth Flĕx Wing is 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 a smoother, more restful ride. It also reduces fuel burn and lowers emissions and produces excellent short-field and high-speed performance.

The Global 7500 aircraft also enables several key long-distance pairs from Asia-Pacific, including Beijing to New York, Seoul to New York, Hong Kong to New York, Tokyo to New York and Singapore to San Francisco.

The Bombardier Global 7500 also sits at the top of its class for design excellence. The aircraft is truly the ultimate home in the sky, a reliable, productive business tool with its ultra-fast internet capabilities and impeccably designed cabins. With its stunning, spacious interior featuring four true living spaces, a full-size, superbly equipped kitchen and a dedicated crew suite, it offers 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. The discerning Global 8000 business jet also features the healthiest cabin in the industry, with Bombardier’s Pũr Air and advanced HEPA filter technology for the cleanest cabin air and the fastest fresh air replacement. It also features the lowest cabin altitude of 2,900 feet when flying at 41,000 ft. – lower than any business jet today.

Bombardier’s Global 8000 aircraft development is progressing to plan. Additionally, for current Global 7500 operators, the incredible performance enhancements on the Global 8000 will be retrofittable when the aircraft enters into service, currently expected in 2025 ⁽³⁾, making it a future-proof investment and the flagship for today and tomorrow.

For customers interested in exploring the Global 7500 during its tour of Hong Kong, Beijing and Seoul, visits are available by appointment.
