MONTREAL -- Bombardier's new flagship business jet, the Global 7500 aircraft, has received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification. The all-new model is scheduled to enter service later this year.
Earlier this year, the Global 7500 aircraft demonstrated its ability to fly further than any other business jet by expanding its advertised range to 7,700 nautical miles, a full 300 nautical miles further than initial commitments. Bombardier claims the Global 7500 aircraft is the only business jet that can connect New York to Hong Kong, and Singapore to San Francisco nonstop (under certain operating conditions).
It also exceeded takeoff and landing performance commitments, facilitating access to challenging airports such as Chicago Executive, MI or Eagle County, CO, even in adverse weather conditions.
