Global Express For Sale

The Bombardier Global Express is an ultra long range, large cabin business jet that entered service in 1999. Manufactured in Toronto, Canada, it was designed from the outset for nonstop intercontinental travel and established a new category in business aviation. The type has evolved through the Global Express XRS (2005), Global 6000 (2012), and Global 6500 (2019) variants.

The original Global Express is powered by two Rolls Royce BR710A1-10 engines, each producing 14,750 pounds of thrust, delivering a range of 6,150 nautical miles. The cabin measures 48 feet 5 inches long, 8 feet 2 inches wide, and 6 feet 3 inches tall, with a flat floor throughout. It typically accommodates 13 to 19 passengers in three cabin zones with a full galley and dedicated crew rest area.

Operational Capabilities

The Global Express cruises at Mach 0.85 with a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.89. It can fly nonstop from London to Los Angeles, New York to Tokyo, or Dubai to Washington. The aircraft features the Bombardier Vision flight deck on later models, with earlier examples equipped with the Honeywell Primus 2000XP suite. Many earlier aircraft have been retrofitted with modern avionics and connectivity upgrades that bring them close to current production standards.

The Global Express and its derivatives are the backbone of many international charter and corporate operations. The type is particularly valued by operators in Europe and the Middle East who require direct, nonstop connections to destinations across North America and Asia. Its cabin volume is among the largest available, rivalled only by the Gulfstream G550 and later Bombardier models.

Buying a Pre Owned Global Express

The Global Express offers the most cabin space available in the pre owned ultra long range market at accessible price points. Original 1999 to 2004 vintage aircraft are available at significantly lower costs than newer Global 6000 and 6500 variants, while still delivering genuine intercontinental capability. Key evaluation factors include Rolls Royce CorporateCare programme enrolment, total airframe and engine hours, avionics generation, and interior condition.

Buyers should also consider the Global 5000, which shares the same cabin but trades range for a higher useful payload. Structural inspections on higher time examples and compliance with Bombardier mandatory service bulletins are essential elements of any pre purchase review.
