Bombardier Global 7000 (Renamed Global 7500): Complete Specs, Performance, and Buyer's Guide (2026)
The Bombardier Global 7000 (renamed Global 7500 in May 2018, in production from 2016 to Present) is Bombardier's clean-sheet ultra-long-range business jet that succeeded the Global 6000/6500 as the largest business jet in the world (until Global 8000 surpassed in 2025). The Global 7000 and Global 8000 were launched together at NBAA in October 2010 as developments of the Global 6000 program - representing Bombardier's strategic decision to dominate the ultra-long-range business jet segment with stretched cabin and substantially extended range. Per Wikipedia: "The Bombardier Global 7500 and Global 8000 are ultra long-range business jets developed by Bombardier Aviation (formerly Bombardier Aerospace) and remain the largest business jets in the world. The Global 7500, originally named the Global 7000, made its first flight on November 4, 2016, was type certified by Transport Canada on September 28, 2018, and entered service on 20 December 2018." The Global 7000 made its first flight on November 4, 2016 (climbing to 20,000 ft and reaching 240 knots during 2 hours 27 minutes). Bombardier's name change from Global 7000 to Global 7500 was revealed on May 28, 2018 - reflecting the substantially increased range from 7,400 to 7,700 nm confirmed during flight testing. Type certified by Transport Canada on September 28, 2018, FAA on November 7, 2018, entered service December 20, 2018. The Global 7000/7500 is a clean sheet design with a new transonic wing - the first purpose-built business jet featuring a four-zone cabin. In 2015, Bombardier decided to redesign the aircraft's wing (reducing weight without altering aerodynamic profile), delaying the program by over two years. Aircraft fly-by-wire system architecture based on CSeries (A220). Airframe uses aluminium-lithium alloys. Program cost more than $1 billion. Powered by two GE Aerospace Passport 20 turbofan engines (originally rated 16,500 lbf at launch development, certified at 18,920 lbf for Global 7500), the Global 7000/7500 delivers Mach 0.925 top speed (the fastest business jet at certification, fastest civilian aircraft since Concorde when Global 8000 reached Mach 0.95), 7,400 nm initial range spec (Global 7000 launch) / 7,700 nm confirmed range in April 2018 testing (Global 7500 final), 51,000 ft service ceiling, and exceptional fuel efficiency. Cabin: 54 ft 5 in length (measured from cockpit divider to aft most cabin), 8 ft width (2.4 m), 6 ft 2 in height, 195 ft³ baggage compartment. Four distinct living zones (industry-first for purpose-built business jet) including seating area + dining/meeting area + cinema room + bedroom depending on layout. 14 windows on each side of fuselage. Aircraft accommodates 14-19 passengers (up to 19 per FAA TCDS, typically 12-16). 114,850 lb MTOW. 87,600 lb max landing weight. Fuel capacity 7,687 gal (51,850 lb) in two main tanks + center tank + aft tank. Initial unit price at 2017 launch: $73 million (per FlightGlobal). 2014 unit cost: $71 million per Wikipedia. Pre-owned (per BusinessAirNews): $49,170,000 to $80,000,000 / $80,000,000 new. By mid-2025: approximately 243 aircraft delivered per Jettly. Notably named the Global 7000 throughout most of its development (2010-2018) before the May 2018 rename to Global 7500.
For operators wanting Bombardier's clean-sheet ultra-long-range flagship business jet (originally named Global 7000), industry-first four-zone cabin layout for purpose-built business jet, two GE Passport 20 engines (originally specified 16,500 lbf, certified at 18,920 lbf), Mach 0.925 top speed, 7,400-7,700 nm range, 54 ft 5 in cabin length, transonic wing design (clean-sheet), fly-by-wire flight controls (CSeries-based), aluminium-lithium alloy airframe, 14-19 passenger capacity, and substantial improvement vs Global 6000 platform, the Global 7000 (renamed Global 7500 in May 2018) represents Bombardier's largest ultra-long-range platform until the Global 8000 successor.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Global 7000 different from the Global 7500?
The Global 7000 (2010-May 2018) is the original development designation of the aircraft. On May 28, 2018, Bombardier renamed it to Global 7500 - reflecting the substantially increased confirmed range (from initial 7,400 nm spec to 7,700 nm confirmed in April 2018 flight testing). Per BusinessAirNews: "The Global 7500, originally named the 7000, made its first flight on 4 November, 2016." Same aircraft, modernized name reflecting confirmed performance.
How is the Global 7000/7500 different from the Global 6000?
The Global 7000/7500 is the clean-sheet successor to the Global 6000 platform. Key differences: 7500 has 7,700 nm range (vs 6000's 6,000-6,170 nm - +1,500+ nm), Mach 0.925 top speed (vs 6000's Mach 0.89), 54 ft 5 in cabin length (vs 6000's 43-48 ft), four-zone cabin (vs 6000's three-zone), industry-first cabin layout, clean-sheet design with new transonic wing (vs 6000's BD-700 inheritance), GE Passport 20 engines (vs 6000's BR710A2-20), aluminium-lithium alloy airframe.
How is the Global 7000/7500 different from the Global 8000?
The Global 8000 (2025-Present) is the longer-range variant of the Global 7500. Key differences: 8000 has 8,000 nm range (vs 7500's 7,700 nm), Mach 0.95 top speed (vs 7500's Mach 0.925) - the fastest civilian aircraft since Concorde, 2,691 ft cabin altitude at 41,000 ft (lowest cabin altitude of any business jet in production). Same aircraft type (BD-700-2A12), updated engine variant (Passport 20-19BB1B vs 7500's 20-19BB1A). Per Wikipedia: "The Global 8000 was initially a shorter, three-zone aircraft but was updated in May 2022 as a four-zone jet similar to the Global 7500."
What engines power the Global 7000/7500?
Two GE Aerospace Passport 20 turbofan engines (Passport 20-19BB1A for Global 7500). Each delivering 18,920 lbf of thrust certified (originally rated 16,500 lbf at development). Designed specifically for this aircraft. Lower emissions, increased efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, minimal cabin noise.
How far can a Global 7500 fly?
The Global 7500 has a range of 7,700 nautical miles (14,300 km) - confirmed in April 2018 flight testing (initial spec was 7,400 nm at launch as Global 7000). With upgrade option, range extends up to 8,000 nm. Per Jettly real-world records: Singapore-Tucson 8,152 nm and Sydney-Detroit 8,225 nm achieved. Routes include New York-Hong Kong, Singapore-San Francisco, Los Angeles-Tokyo, London-Buenos Aires, New York-Dubai non-stop.
When was the Global 7000 first delivered?
The Global 7000 (renamed Global 7500 in May 2018) was type certified by Transport Canada on September 28, 2018, FAA on November 7, 2018, and entered service on December 20, 2018. First flight was November 4, 2016. By mid-2025: approximately 243 Global 7500 aircraft delivered per Jettly.
What's the Global 7500 cabin advantage?
Per Wikipedia: "The Global 7500 is a clean sheet design with a new transonic wing and is the first purpose built business jet featuring a four-zone cabin." Industry-first four distinct living spaces (seating + dining/meeting + cinema + bedroom) plus dedicated crew rest area. 54 ft 5 in cabin length, 8 ft width, 6 ft 2 in height, 14 windows on each side. Largest cabin in business aviation at certification.
Who flies Global 7500 aircraft?
Global 7500 operators include premium private owners, businesses, corporate flight departments, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, fractional operators (a major fractional operator), and head-of-state customers worldwide. By mid-2025: ~243 aircraft delivered making the Global 7500 a substantial fleet in the ultra-long-range premium segment.
What's the Global 7500 pre-owned market like?
Per BusinessAirNews 2025: Global 7500 prices range from $49.17M pre-owned to $80M new. With ~243 aircraft delivered by mid-2025, the platform has substantial market depth. Modern Vision Flight Deck avionics, GE Passport 20 engines, and clean-sheet design provide modern technology positioning premium residual values.
Why did Bombardier rename Global 7000 to Global 7500?
In April 2018, Bombardier's flight test campaign surpassed 1,800 hours and confirmed a range increase from the initially specified 7,400 nm (Global 7000) to 7,700 nm (Global 7500). The rename was revealed on May 28, 2018 to reflect this substantially improved confirmed performance. The aircraft entered service in December 2018 as Global 7500.
