The Bombardier Global 7500 has become a preferred choice among celebrities and the wealthy, offering unmatched luxury and performance. The aircraft is renowned for its spaciousness and comfort, featuring an ensuite bedroom, theater or conference room, meeting space, and dining area. This private jet has been described as an extension of home for those who can afford it.

Prominent owners include Kylie Jenner, Matt Damon, Andrew Forrest, Chamath Palihapitiya, and the Rolex company. Bernard Arnault once owned a Global 7500 but sold it due to privacy concerns with jet-tracking services. The jet also features in the fleets of VistaJet, NetJets, and Bellawings in Hong Kong.

The Global 7500 boasts a transonic wing design that enhances aerodynamic efficiency. Powered by two General Electric Passport 20 engines, it achieves a maximum speed of Mach 0.925 while being more fuel-efficient than its predecessors. It has a range of 7,700 nautical miles and can connect cities like New York to Hong Kong without refueling.

The interior offers various configurations with ergonomic Nuage seats designed for comfort during long flights. Bombardier's Soleil lighting system helps reduce jet lag by mimicking natural circadian rhythms.

In the cockpit, pilots benefit from advanced fly-by-wire technology and avionics systems such as the Head-Up Display (HUD) and Enhanced Vision System (EVS). During testing phases involving five prototype aircraft, over 2,400 flight hours were logged before entering service in December 2018.

The cost of owning a new Global 7500 ranges between $75 million to $78 million as of 2023. Operating costs vary based on usage; flying 200 hours annually costs approximately $2 million.

Bombardier continues to see strong demand for the Global series jets. In December 2024, the company delivered its 200th Global 7500 aircraft.
