Global Express — Bombardier

Bombardier · Ultra-long-range jet

Global Express

The aircraft that began the Global story — the first three-zone cabin certified to 51,000 feet.

Twelve-hour missions in a full three-zone cabin — the value route into Global territory.

The original Global Express is where Bombardier's ultra-long-range dynasty starts: an all-new supercritical wing, a 48-foot three-zone cabin, and 6,500 nautical miles at Mach 0.80 — built expressly to cross oceans non-stop when nothing else with a cabin like this could.

Today it is the most considered way into a Global cabin: the same cross-section and crew-rest provision as its successors, from a fleet whose value story rewards those who judge an aircraft by its maintenance pedigree rather than its model year.

Good to know

Frequently asked

How far can the original Global Express fly?

6,500 nautical miles at Mach 0.80 with eight aboard and reserves — Sydney to Tokyo, Honolulu or, winds willing, Johannesburg. Sydney–Los Angeles is beyond it non-stop; that mission belongs to the later 7500 and 8000.

What is the cabin like?

The full Global experience in its first form: three zones across 48 feet — club, conference and an aft lounge that converts for the night — with 195 cubic feet of baggage and a dedicated crew-rest provision that makes genuine twelve-hour missions workable.

How much does a Global Express cost to charter?

Typically the sharpest ultra-long-range figure on the board — the fleet's age prices the same cabin volume well below its successors, and we vet each airframe's pedigree carefully. Quoted individually, firmly, within the hour.
