Ultra-long-range jet · Bombardier
Bombardier's four-room flagship, chosen for the longest legs by groups who want to be able to close a door, and now continued as the Global 8000 with the same cabin.
Families and groups of eight to twelve on the longest legs. A typical layout runs from a forward club to a dining or conference room for six, an entertainment lounge with a divan and a principal suite with a full-size bed. The crew rest is separate from all four.
The G700 has a slightly longer, wider cabin, a lower cabin altitude and 50 nm more range, but far fewer are offered for charter. The G650 is shorter and cheaper and covers most trips under twelve hours. Against the VIP airliners, the Global flies further with fewer people, from more airports, for less.
The 5,760 ft take-off distance grows with heat and altitude, and some island and mountain airports are closed to it. On a two- or three-hour leg it is expensive for what the trip needs, and on busy dates the nearest free aircraft may be a long positioning flight away.
Published figures for the type. Seating, beds and connectivity vary with each aircraft's layout and operator, and we confirm them for the actual aircraft before you book.

Range as published: 8 passengers and 4 crew at Mach 0.85 with NBAA IFR reserves in standard conditions; 8,000 nm for the Global 8000 on the same basis. On the day it depends on passengers and luggage, winds, the airports, temperature and the reserves the operator carries.

The cabin is 54 ft 5 in long excluding the baggage compartment, 8 ft wide and 6 ft 2 in tall. Four rooms of similar size is the idea: a meeting can go on at the dining table while others watch a film and the principal sleeps at the back. The windows are about 80% larger than on earlier Globals.
Up to 19; charter layouts usually carry 12 to 14 across the four living spaces.
Eight sleep flat in a typical layout, with a full-size bed in the principal suite on many aircraft.
A full-size kitchen rather than a galley, sized for proper meals on a fifteen-hour day.
A dedicated crew suite, so a relief pilot rests without using a passenger seat or bed.
195 cu ft behind the cabin, reachable in flight at any altitude.
Ka-band Wi-Fi on many aircraft, good for video calls; the fit and plan vary by operator.
Bombardier publishes 7,700 nm for the 7500 and 8,000 nm for the Global 8000, both at Mach 0.85 with eight passengers, four crew and NBAA IFR reserves. A 7500 can be upgraded to 8000 standard, so we confirm which the quote is for. Winter headwinds, a full cabin or a summer Gulf departure take range away.
Take-off needs 5,760 ft at maximum weight at sea level, and landing 2,237 ft. The wing's low-speed lift lets it use shorter runways than its size suggests, and on one demonstration flight a 7500 left London City non-stop for Van Nuys. A full-fuel departure on a hot day still needs a long runway.
Trips this aircraft flies well, each with its own page: the airports at both ends, flight times and indicative prices by cabin.
The 7500 prices near the top of the ultra-long-range band, close to a G700 and above a G650 or Global 6500; a Global 8000 usually costs more again. The four rooms earn their price on the longest legs, not on five or six hours. Most of the gap between two quotes for the same trip is positioning, and whether the aircraft flies out empty to collect you.
As a guide, ultra-long-range jets charter at about $12,000 to $16,000 an hour for the aircraft, crew and fuel. Positioning, airport charges, overnight costs and the season are added for the trip, and the quote is one figure in writing.
When the Global 7500 is not available on your dates, or the trip asks for something slightly different, these are the aircraft we would put beside it.

Up to 19, though most charter aircraft are set up for 12 to 14 across four living spaces. Eight can sleep flat in a typical layout, including a full-size bed in the principal suite on many aircraft.
Bombardier publishes 7,700 nm at Mach 0.85 with eight passengers, four crew and NBAA IFR reserves. In practice that means New York to Tokyo or Miami to Dubai without a stop in most conditions; winds, payload and temperature decide the margin on the day.
The Global 8000, delivered from December 2025, is the same airframe and cabin with 8,000 nm of published range, a top speed of Mach 0.95 and a cabin altitude of 2,691 ft at 41,000 ft. Existing 7500s can be upgraded to 8000 standard, so some aircraft sold as 7500s now fly to the newer figures. For charter we treat them as one type and confirm the specification of the aircraft quoted.
Usually a forward club area, a dining or conference room that seats six, an entertainment lounge with a divan, and a principal suite with a bed at the back. The crew rest is separate from all four. Layouts vary by owner, so we send the floor plan of the specific aircraft with the quote.
For most trips the answer is whichever is available closer to your departure. The G700 has a slightly larger cabin cross-section, more windows and a lower cabin altitude; the Global 7500 divides its cabin into four rooms of similar size and has been in charter service since 2018. We quote both where we can.
Yes, in most conditions. New York to Tokyo is about 5,860 nm and takes around thirteen and a half hours westbound, inside the published 7,700 nm with a normal cabin. On a winter day with strong headwinds and every seat taken, the operator confirms the plan before departure.
Some do. A shower in the principal suite was an option on the type, specified by the original owner. If it matters, we confirm it on the aircraft before quoting.
Where from, where to, the dates and how many are flying. We come back with priced Global 7500 options and comparable aircraft, usually the same day.
