Bombardier Global 7500 Completes World’s Longest Range Business Jet Flight in History

Bombardier's Global 7500 aircraft has completed an 8,152 nm flight non-stop.

The flight is the longest mission ever flown by a purpose-built business jet and also sets the record for the highest speed over the longest distance in business aviation history, connecting Singapore to Tucson, AZ.

The business jet departed from Singapore Changi Airport at 07:12 and arrived at Tucson International Airport at 08:19, completing the long-range speed record flight for the city-pair. 

The aircraft landed with 4,300 lb of remaining fuel, which represents nearly 1,5 hours of additional flight, well above NBAA requirements.

“The Global 7500 aircraft was built to break all the records,” said David Coleal, President, Bombardier Business Aircraft. “It achieved the industry’s longest mission ever in business aviation after only two months in service. We’ve demonstrated its unequaled long-range and high speed capabilities, but also its ability to break records confidently with healthy fuel reserves remaining, once again, confirming its unsurpassed performance to customers.”
