The ultra-long-range Global 7500 aircraft has proven to be the highest performing purpose-built business jet in the world. Holding the title of the longest-range flight in business aviation of over 8,225 nautical miles, Bombardier has delivered more than 150 aircraft.
The global private aviation group is introducing the ultra-long range Bombardier Global 7500 aircraft to the U.S. under Vista America, responding to a 76% increase in Global 7500 flight hours in the U.S. in 2023. Vista is also reporting a 38% increase in its Global 7500 subscribed hours over the last 12 months form its existing program members in the region.
Bombardier once again strengthened its position as an industry leader earlier this fall, announcing the 150th delivery of an ultra-long-range Bombardier Global 7500 jet, a program that has redefined the ultra-long-range sector. The smooth ride, sophisticated design, proven performance, and advanced technology have garnered industry recognition internationally. The exceptional capabilities have ensured an impressive fleet dispatch reliability of over 99.8% and more than 100,000 flight hours.
The new “Executive Cabin” features a unique open office concept and spacious three workspace interior designed to maximize corporate collaboration, productivity and networking with fellow passengers.
In 2012 with the entry into service of the Gulfstream G650 (Model GVI), a new era of Ultra-Long-Range (> 7000 nm) purpose-built Business Jets was launched. Although highly impacted by continuous delays and cost overruns with its CSeries commercial aircraft family, Bombardier had to respond with the launch of the Global 7000 and 8000 family program that soon converged with the delivery of the current industry flagship, the Global 7500. The Ultra-Long-Range offerings will soon be extended with the addition of the state-of-the-art Gulfstream G700 and G800 and a clean sheet design from Dassault Aviation, the extra widebody Falcon 10X. Let’s look at what’s today the most advanced and dynamic segment of Business Aviation!
This milestone business jet is also VistaJet’s 10th Global 7500 and reinforces the relationship between Bombardier and the global business aviation company
The delivered Ultra-Long range jet is also the 1,000th Global aircraft family member to be delivered by Bombardier and the first of 20 Global 7500 aircraft planned to join the NetJets fleet
Both aircraft will be managed and offered for charter by leading Canadian aircraft services provider, Chartright Air Group, and will be based at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport.
The Challenger 350 and Global 7500 new additions will bring VistaJet’s global fleet to over 90 aircraft providing access to 187 countries, with regional flying in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia, including domestic flights within India.
