Book a flight in Bombardier Global 5500
The Bombardier Global 5500 inherits the legendary reliability of the Global family. New Rolls-Royce Pearl engines, Bombardier Vision cockpit and 9,630 km of range for non-stop intercontinental connections.
The Bombardier Global 5500 is a benchmark ultra-long-range jet, designed to connect the world’s major cities non-stop in exceptional comfort. Developed by Bombardier in Montreal, it was certified in 2019 and represents a major evolution of the Global 5000 with an extended range of 9,630 km, a redesigned cabin and quieter Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 engines. It targets discerning executives and business travellers connecting Paris to New York, London to Dubai or Frankfurt to Mumbai on a single flight.
The Global 5500 cabin measures 15.98 m long by 2.49 m wide and 1.88 m tall, accommodating up to 16 passengers in a lounge configuration. It typically divides into three distinct zones: a forward lounge with club chairs, a central meeting room and a rear rest area convertible into a bedroom with a fully flat bed. Seats convert to 1.96 m flat beds, cabin noise is among the lowest in its class (52 dB), and Viasat connectivity guarantees high-speed intercontinental Wi-Fi. A fully equipped galley enables restaurant-quality dining on board.
With a 9,630 km range at Mach 0.85, the Global 5500 handles Paris–New York (5,830 km), Paris–Dubai (5,250 km) or London–Mumbai (7,180 km) non-stop. Its cruise speed of 904 km/h cuts flight times by 10 to 15% compared to direct competitors. Its minimum runway of 1,689 m opens access to secondary airports such as Biarritz (LFBZ) or Chambéry (LFLB). Empty leg flights for this model are available with discounts of 30 to 50% on specialist platforms.

The Global 5500 accommodates up to 16 passengers in its maximum configuration. In the standard configuration with flat beds, it carries 12 to 14 passengers across three distinct zones: forward lounge, meeting room and rear rest area. It can also be configured with 8 extra-wide club seats for ultra-comfortable VIP travel.
The Global 5500 has a range of 9,630 km, enabling it to connect Paris to New York (5,830 km), London to Mumbai (7,180 km) or Dubai to Singapore (5,840 km) non-stop. It cruises at Mach 0.85 (approximately 904 km/h), cutting flight times by 10 to 15% compared to direct competitors such as the Falcon 7X.
The Global 5500 requires a minimum runway of 1,689 m for takeoff under standard conditions. This performance gives it access to regional airports such as Biarritz-Anglet (1,600 m), Chambéry (2,100 m), Innsbruck (2,000 m) or Palma de Mallorca as an alternative to the main airport. All major international airports are of course accessible.
The Global 5500 cabin is one of the quietest in its class at 52 dB. It measures 15.98 m long by 2.49 m wide and features seats that convert to 1.96 m flat beds. The fully equipped galley, Viasat high-speed Wi-Fi, lavatory and shower make it a true airborne office and bedroom for intercontinental travel.
The Global 5500 (9,630 km) offers a slightly shorter range than the Falcon 7X (11,000 km) but features a longer cabin (15.98 m vs 11.9 m) with three distinct zones. The Falcon 7X is powered by three Silvercrest engines versus two Rolls-Royce Pearl 15s for the Global 5500, making the latter more economical per hour. The Global 5500 is ideal for transatlantic flights, while the Falcon 7X is suited to ultra-long routes to Asia or Australia.
