MONTREAL, Sept. 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bombardier announced today that HK Bellawings Jet Limited, the third-largest aircraft management company in Hong Kong, has firmed up an order for four Global 6500 and two Global 7500 business jets, and maintains options for 12 Global aircraft.

The transaction for the firm order is valued at approximately $370 million US, based on the 2018 list prices for typically equipped aircraft. The value could increase to $1.142 billion US with all options exercised.

“We’re thrilled that HK Bellawings Jet Limited has chosen the Global 6500 and Global 7500 aircraft to expand its growing fleet of business jets,” said Peter Likoray, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Marketing, Bombardier Business Aircraft. “These industry leading aircraft offer the largest cabins, the longest range and the smoothest ride in their respective classes. With wide-open living spaces, refined interior design, and the total performance synonymous with Global business jets, the new Global family is perfectly suited to meet the needs of the most discerning travelers in the region.”

“We are very impressed with Bombardier’s overall product portfolio,” said HK Bellawings’ President Mr. Zhang Yijia. “The new Global 6500 and the unmatched Global 7500 business jets will be an excellent complement to our existing mid cabin capabilities and overall fleet that are unmatched in private aviation.
