Bombardier Global 7500 reaches milestone with its 150th city-pair speed record

The jet has set records on various high-profile routes including Tokyo–Los Angeles, Toronto–Paris, New York–London, and Hong Kong–Montreal. It also completed London City Airport’s longest-ever private flight to Los Angeles International Airport and achieved business aviation’s longest non-stop sector from Sydney to Detroit—a distance of over 8,225 nautical miles (15,232 km), surpassing its standard range specifications.

Bombardier emphasized how these achievements are impacting business aviation. Jean-Christophe Gallagher, Executive Vice President of Aircraft Sales at Bombardier, said: "The unique attributes of the Global 7500 aircraft will soon be enhanced with the introduction of the Global 8000 aircraft. Bombardier’s flagship for a new era is anticipated to have an industry-leading range of 8,000 nautical miles (14,816 km) and a top speed of Mach 0.94, making it the ultimate all-in-one business aircraft."

Gallagher further commented on customer expectations: "Our customers count on us to deliver a business tool with the highest standards in luxury, speed, and reliability, and the Global 7500 overachieves on all fronts." He added that many records were set with passengers aboard under different conditions at various airports: "Many of these records have been set with passengers on board in varying conditions and airports... [making] these achievements even more meaningful and reaching this pinnacle more remarkable."

The Global 7500 features a ‘Smooth Flex’ wing design aimed at improving aerodynamic efficiency while maintaining ride comfort. With its series of record-setting flights and upcoming enhancements via the new model launch later this year—following its first test flight in May—the company sees continued progress ahead.
