MONTREAL– Bombardier announced that its Global 7500 business jet has achieved a historic milestone with its 150th speed record, more than any other business aircraft type in history.
The ultra-long-range jet has secured city-pair records including Tokyo (HND) to Los Angeles (LAX), Toronto (YYZ) to Paris (CDG), New York (JFK) to London (LHR), and Hong Kong (HKG) to Montreal (YUL).
The aircraft has consistently demonstrated speeds surpassing 1,000 km/h on 20 record-setting missions, highlighting its ability to connect key global hubs with unmatched efficiency.
The Global 7500 has also set the longest flight ever recorded in business aviation—a nonstop 8,225 nautical mile (15,232 km) journey from Sydney (SYD) to Detroit (DTW).

The Global 7500 continues to define the standard for performance in its category. With a top speed of Mach 0.925 and a baseline range of 7,700 nautical miles (14,260 km), it offers intercontinental connectivity without compromise.
The jet’s Smooth Flĕx Wing contributes to superior lift, aerodynamic efficiency, and reduced fuel burn while delivering an exceptionally smooth ride in a wide range of flight conditions.
Earlier milestones included a nonstop flight from London City Airport (LCY) to Los Angeles (LAX), demonstrating both long-range capability and performance at challenging airports.
Bombardier executives note that many of these records were achieved with passengers on board, underlining the aircraft’s reliability in real-world conditions.
Beyond speed and distance, the Global 7500 emphasizes comfort and sustainability. Its advanced wing design not only reduces emissions but also enhances short-field capability, expanding the number of airports it can access compared to other large business jets.
The cabin features industry-leading design elements, combining luxury finishes with optimized cabin altitude to reduce passenger fatigue on ultra-long-haul missions.

Bombardier is preparing to build on this success with the upcoming Global 8000. Expected to offer an extended range of 8,000 nautical miles (14,816 km) and a top speed of Mach 0.94, the aircraft aims to become the fastest and longest-range business jet in the world.
The Global 8000 will also feature a remarkably low cabin altitude, improving passenger wellness on long missions.
With runway performance comparable to smaller jets, the Global 8000 is designed to access airports that larger ultra-long-range jets often cannot. This flexibility will expand operational possibilities for corporate and private operators who require global reach paired with efficiency.

Bombardier supports a fleet of more than 5,100 aircraft, backed by 10 service facilities across six countries. The company manufactures its aircraft at facilities in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico, reinforcing its global footprint.
In 2024, Bombardier was recognized with the prestigious “Red Dot: Best of the Best” award for Brands and Communication Design, highlighting its leadership in both performance and innovation.
By setting unmatched speed records and preparing for the next leap forward with the Global 8000, Bombardier continues to strengthen its position as a leader in business aviation.
