MONTREAL— Bombardier, the renowned Canadian aerospace manufacturer, has announced that its Global 7500 business jet has set an unparalleled 135 city-pair speed records, the highest ever achieved by a single business aircraft type.
These records include prominent long-range routes such as Tokyo (HND) to San Francisco (SFO), London (LCY) to Riyadh (RUH), and Montreal (YUL) to Paris (CDG), confirming the aircraft’s industry-leading performance in speed, efficiency, and range.

Since its market introduction, the Bombardier Global 7500 has redefined ultra-long-range private aviation. Capable of reaching a top speed of Mach 0.925, the aircraft boasts an impressive baseline range of 7,700 nautical miles (14,260 km).
This allows nonstop travel between distant city pairs like Hartford (BDL) to Dubai (DXB) or Oakland (OAK) to Tokyo (HND) — journeys that demand both endurance and speed.
A significant engineering achievement is the aircraft’s proprietary Smooth Flĕx Wing, designed with advanced slats and flaps. This innovation enhances aerodynamic efficiency, improves short-field performance, and ensures a smoother ride even in turbulent conditions.
The wing’s efficiency also contributes to reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions, aligning with modern sustainability goals in aviation.
Adding to its list of milestones, the Global 7500 holds the record for the longest flight in business aviation history — 8,225 nautical miles (15,232.7 km) from Sydney (SYD) to Detroit (DTW).
It also accomplished the longest non-stop flight from London City Airport (LCY) to Los Angeles (LAX), a challenging route due to LCY’s short runway constraints.

Bombardier has strategically positioned the Global 7500 as not just a transportation solution but a sophisticated business tool.
Executives and VIP passengers benefit from reliability, speed, and range, which translate into operational flexibility across varied global conditions.
Remarkably, many speed records were achieved with passengers onboard, proving the aircraft’s real-world, mission-capable reliability.
Jean-Christophe Gallagher, Executive Vice President of Aircraft Sales and Bombardier Defense, emphasized that these achievements reflect the jet’s advanced engineering and its ability to meet the dynamic needs of global business leaders.

Bombardier is further advancing its leadership with the upcoming Global 8000. Expected to enter service soon, the Global 8000 will offer an unprecedented range of 8,000 nautical miles (14,816 km) and a top speed of Mach 0.94 — positioning it as the fastest and longest-range purpose-built business jet.
Key features of the Global 8000 include:
- Cabin altitude under 2,900 feet at cruising altitudes of 41,000 feet.
- Runway performance akin to light jets, enabling access to airports with shorter runways.
- Enhanced passenger comfort and connectivity for long-haul missions.
These advancements demonstrate Bombardier’s ongoing commitment to innovation, meeting the exacting standards of global business aviation customers.
