Bombardier Global 6000: Complete Specs, Performance, and Buyer's Guide (2026)
The Bombardier Global 6000 (BD-700-1A10, in production from 2012 to Present, planned end mid-2019/ongoing) is Bombardier's modernized rebranding of the Global Express XRS - introducing the modern Bombardier Vision Flight Deck (Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion-based) avionics suite, improved cabin acoustics, and modern enhancements while maintaining the same proven BR710A2-20 engines and airframe. Per Wikipedia: "The Global 6000 is an upgrade to the XRS that replaces the older avionics." Per BlackJet: "Evolved from the original Bombardier Global Express and Global Express XRS, the Global 6000 was announced in 2011 as a rebranding of the Global Express XRS, with production starting in 2012." The Global 6000 boasts a range of over 6,000 nautical miles, achieved by adding the same 1,486 lb wing-root fuel tank introduced on the XRS predecessor. Bombardier's advancements in computer systems and mechanical refinements allow the Global 6000 to refuel 15 minutes faster than the original Global Express model. With the largest cabin volume of any purpose-built business aircraft at launch (until Global 7500), the Global 6000 seats 8-19 passengers (typical 13-17) in three cabin sections. Vision flight deck upgraded with Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics (including synthetic vision and weather radar) represents a significant upgrade over the Honeywell Primus 2000XP systems found in earlier Global Express XRS aircraft. Powered by two Rolls-Royce Deutschland BR710A2-20 engines (each delivering 14,750 lbf of thrust, FADEC controlled, 8,000-hour TBO), the Global 6000 delivers Mach 0.89 max speed (504 knots / 682 mph), Mach 0.85 cruise (487 knots / 652 mph / 902 km/h), 6,000-6,170 nm range, 51,000 ft service ceiling, and 3,350 ft/min climb rate. Cabin: 43 ft 3 in length (per Air Charter Advisors) / 48.35 ft (per FlyCraft individual airframe), 7 ft 11 in - 8 ft 2 in width, 6 ft 2 in - 6 ft 3 in height, 2,002 (per BlackJet) - 2,140 cu ft volume. 195 cu ft internal baggage. 27 large windows with natural light. 100% fresh-air system + low cabin altitude. Two fully-enclosed lavatories (one optional shower). Three-zone cabin divisible for privacy. Aircraft: 99 ft 5 in length, 94 ft wingspan, 25 ft 6 in height. MTOW 99,500 lb. Max payload 5,770 lb. Wing loading 97.5 lb/sq ft - highest among competitors, providing comfortable ride in turbulence. Improved acoustical insulation vs predecessor. Fuel burn: 484 GPH (per BlackJet) / 5,000 lb hour 1 / 4,000 lb hour 2 / 3,000 lb hour 3 / 2,500 lb each subsequent (per Wikipedia for Global Express family). A Checks every 750 hours, C Checks every 30 months. Engine reserves $260/hour. Over 315 delivered by March 2019 (across Global Express family). Per Globalair: 315+ delivered. MSRP $62 million per Air Charter Advisors. Hourly charter $11,500-$14,375 (or $12,000+ per Air Charter Advisors). Takeoff 5,820 ft at sea level / 7,880 ft at 5,000 ft elevation. Landing 2,190 ft with <4 passengers / 2,670 ft (per Air Charter Advisors). Pre-owned per FlyCraft individual airframe records: $14M-$50M depending on year/condition.
For operators wanting Bombardier's modernized Global Express XRS variant with substantially improved Bombardier Vision Flight Deck avionics (Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion-based replacing older Honeywell Primus 2000XP), substantially improved cabin acoustics, same proven Rolls-Royce BR710A2-20 engines, same 2,002+ cu ft cabin volume, same 6,000+ nm range capability, 51,000 ft service ceiling, three-zone cabin, two fully-enclosed lavatories (one with optional shower), and modern Bombardier ultra-long-range heritage, the Global 6000 represents Bombardier's mid-cycle modern flagship variant before the Global 6500 Pearl 15 successor.

Bombardier Global 6000 Services from Quantum Jets
Quantum Jets supports Bombardier Global 6000 operators and prospective owners across the full lifecycle of private jet ownership. Whether the goal is jet charter for a one-off trip, a private jet rental for a busy season, or a private jet charter program tied to a recurring travel pattern, our team builds the right structure around the Bombardier Global 6000 for the mission.
For buyers, our aircraft purchase and jet purchase advisory walks through inspection, valuation, financing, and closing. Jet sales and aircraft sales clients work with our team to position the Bombardier Global 6000 for the strongest possible exit, with market intelligence on every comparable transaction. A private jet card program through Quantum Jets is a lower-commitment way to access Bombardier Global 6000-class lift without a full aircraft purchase, and is structured to credit toward a future jet purchase when the time is right.
Once an aircraft is in hand, aircraft management and jet management at Quantum Jets cover crew, scheduling, regulatory compliance, charter revenue programs, and detailed reporting. Private jet management is structured to keep the Bombardier Global 6000 flying safely and profitably with minimum owner overhead. Aircraft maintenance is coordinated through manufacturer-authorized service centers, and aircraft refurbishment programs (interior, paint, avionics, connectivity) are managed end-to-end so the Bombardier Global 6000 retains residual value over its operating life.
Fractional jet programs are available for Bombardier Global 6000-class travelers who want guaranteed access without sole ownership. Aircraft lease and aircraft leasing arrangements (operating, finance, dry, wet) are structured to match the operator's hours, geography, and balance sheet. The Bombardier Global 6000 fits naturally into all of these structures, and Quantum Jets handles the structuring, documentation, and lifecycle service so the owner can focus on flying.
If you are evaluating a Bombardier Global 6000 for purchase, charter, lease, fractional access, management, refurbishment, or sale, talk to a Quantum Jets broker for a custom market scan and pre-buy diligence.
