Bombardier Global Express Overview
The Bombardier Global Express is an ultra long range manufactured by Bombardier Aviation, produced from 1999-2005. Classified as a large-cabin aircraft, the Bombardier Global Express carries up to 16 passengers at a maximum cruise speed of 499 knots with a range of 5,900 nautical miles — placing it squarely in the charter and corporate flight segment for transcontinental and international missions.
The Jet Finder's aircraft directory currently tracks 4 active Bombardier Global Express registrations in the FAA Aircraft Registry. Each tail number page below provides individual registration data, serial numbers, ownership records, and specification details sourced from official FAA documentation.
Performance & Powerplant
Power comes from 2x Rolls-Royce BR710 A2-20, each producing 14,750 lbs of thrust. Maximum cruise speed reaches 499 knots (Mach 0.89), with a long-range cruise of 471 kts for missions where fuel efficiency matters more than speed. The service ceiling of 51,000 feet puts the Bombardier Global Express well above commercial traffic corridors, and a takeoff distance of 5,980 ft keeps smaller airfields accessible.
With 5,900 nautical miles of range under standard reserves, the Bombardier Global Express handles coast-to-coast operations with fuel reserves, and reaches many European destinations from the Eastern seaboard. Typical hourly operating costs range from $5,500-$7,500 per flight hour.
Cabin & Interior
The Bombardier Global Express cabin measures 48.4 ft long, 8.2 ft wide, and 6.3 ft tall. Standard configurations seat up to 16 passengers, with 195 cu ft of externally accessible baggage capacity. The Honeywell Primus 2000 XP avionics suite provides full IFR certification for all-weather operations.
Evolution & Market Position
Evolved into the Global 5000/6000 family. For those considering acquisition or evaluating options to sell, understanding the transition between variants is essential for informed decision-making. Well-maintained Bombardier Global Express aircraft remain sought after in the pre-owned market, with strong demand from both private owners and charter operators.
