Bombardier Celebrates Entry-into-Service of the Industry Flagship Global 7500 Business Jet
December 20 2018 - 5:45PM
Bombardier celebrated the entry-into-service of its award-winning
Global 7500 business jet, during a special event held at its
recently renamed Laurent Beaudoin Completion Centre, in presence of
selected customers, suppliers and representatives from the
industry.
“Pride and excitement are profound understatements when it comes
to the entry-into-service of our flagship Global 7500 aircraft,”
said David Coleal, President, Bombardier Business Aircraft. “This
revolutionary aircraft is the gateway to a transformed business
aviation landscape and a very bright future. No other aircraft can
compare and this achievement demonstrates Bombardier’s commitment
to deliver revolutionary and high-performing aircraft and provide
customers with the best business jet experience in the world.”
Throughout the entire flight testing program, the Global 7500
aircraft demonstrated its ability to push the boundaries of
business travel by exceeding its initial performance commitments.
In addition to its unsurpassed range of 7,700 nautical miles, the
Global 7500 aircraft exceeded its original takeoff and landing
performance commitments, leading to a new published takeoff
distance of 5,800 feet - almost 500 feet shorter than the closest –
and smaller – competitor aircraft. The aircraft also reached Mach
0.995 only five months after the start of the flight test program –
another unprecedented achievement in a flight test program.
“Today’s celebration is a testament to the rigour and excellence
of our Global 7500 aircraft program, from the drawing board to
entry-into-service,” said Michel Ouellette, Senior Vice President,
Program Management and Engineering, Bombardier Business Aircraft.
“It is a historic moment for Bombardier and the thousands of
dedicated employees who have proudly brought a no-compromise
attitude to the table each and every day. Today, the world-class,
highly-skilled team at the Laurent Beaudoin Completion Centre
continues to carry on the tradition of delivering game-changing
large-cabin aircraft in Montréal, much like the original Global
Express 20 years ago.”
The Global 7500 aircraft offers Bombardier’s signature smooth
ride and a spaciousness that is unique among business jets. With
its award-winning bespoke interior featuring a full-size kitchen
and four true living spaces, the Global 7500 aircraft offers the
ultimate in-flight experience. Setting the benchmark for the most
exceptional cabin interior, the Global 7500 aircraft offers the
most innovative features such as Bombardier’s patented Nuage seat,
meticulously designed for maximum comfort and the revolutionary
nice Touch cabin management system (CMS), a new way to connect with
the Global 7500 aircraft cabin through the Bombardier Touch dial,
featuring business aviation’s first application of an OLED
display.
