Bombardier Global 5000 empty legs

An ultra long range jet, which means its repositioning flights are long too. Seattle to Regina is the regular; Basel to Brazzaville is the kind of leg no other page on this site has.

The widest reach on the board

Departure countries for the Global 5000 outnumber those of every other heavy jet we track, and the average sector in the block above is long by any standard here. Seattle to Regina and back is the one recurring pairing, a Canadian prairie run in an aircraft that could carry on to Europe without stopping. The rest is genuinely global: central Africa, the Gulf, both American coasts, Switzerland.

Days of notice for a five thousand mile aeroplane

You might expect an intercontinental jet to be scheduled well ahead. On this board the opposite holds: the Global 5000's legs are among the latest published of any type, typically appearing only a few days before departure, and they then stay visible for a while. Late to appear, slow to leave. A weekly check plus an alert covers it.

Published prices are rare, as across the heavy end of the market. Where a figure exists the record block will say.

What the cabin is

Three living zones, a full galley, a crew rest, and a floor you walk on standing up: the Global is built for twelve hours airborne and it shows even on a ninety minute hop. The Global 6000 adds range and is tracked separately; the 5500 and 7500 appear too rarely for a page of their own. Range per Business Jet Traveler; cabin and seats per GlobalAir, whose range figure differs and is not used here. Seat count on any flight is the operator's.

Bombardier Global 5000: specification and background

The Global 5000 of 2005 was a shortened, shorter ranged version of the Global Express, built for operators who wanted the cabin without the full 6,000 nm of range. It kept the Rolls-Royce BR710 engines and the three zone interior and was replaced by the 5500 in 2019. Around 230 were built. On this board it is the heavy jet with the widest spread of departure countries, which is what an intercontinental aircraft in charter service looks like.
