What is the Bombardier Global 7500?
The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra long range business jet. It flies about 7,700 nm non-stop and has four cabin zones, plus a separate crew rest. It entered service in December 2018, and Bombardier delivered the 200th in December 2024. The Global 8000 has replaced it in production.
Four cabin zones, which Bombardier calls four true living spaces, with an optional principal suite and a full-size bed.
About 7,700 nm of range at Mach 0.85 with 8 passengers and 4 crew, with NBAA IFR reserves.
A dedicated crew rest, so crew can sleep on the longest flights.
Cabin 54 ft 5 in (16.59 m) long, 8 ft (2.44 m) wide and 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m) tall, with a 195 cu ft hold you can reach in flight.
One flies with 1 operator holding a UAE air operator certificate, based in Dubai. Altivo Jets books them through these licensed operators.

Fuel burn and CO2
The Global 7500 burns about 528 US gallons (1,599 kg) of jet fuel an hour, which puts out about 5.1 tonnes of CO2. Sustainable aviation fuel, where the departure airport has it, cuts the lifecycle figure.
| Flight | Fuel | CO2 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 flight hour | 1,600 kg | 5.1 tonnes |
| 3 flight hours | 4,800 kg | 15.2 tonnes |
| 8 flight hours | 12,790 kg | 40.4 tonnes |
Average block figures; real burn depends on weight, altitude and winds. Fuel at 0.8 kg per litre.

Cabin size
54 ft 5 in (16.59 m) long, 8 ft 0 in (2.44 m) wide and 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m) tall: 2,786 cu ft of cabin space.
Galley
Forward galley. Listings show ovens, a microwave, chillers, an espresso or coffee maker and a kettle. Bombardier calls it a kitchen.
Lavatories
Most aircraft have a forward lavatory and an aft lavatory. On aircraft with a principal suite the aft lavatory is en suite. A shower is an option.
Crew rest
Bombardier fits a dedicated crew suite. On the listings we checked it sits forward, by the galley, with a berthing chair or a divan, a monitor and sometimes its own lavatory, so crew can rest on long flights.
Wi-Fi and connectivity
Varies by aircraft. Listings show Starlink, Ka-band satellite Wi-Fi and Iridium phones. We confirm the system for your aircraft.
Baggage
195 cu ft hold at the back of the cabin, reachable in flight.
Cabin altitude
4,500 ft at 45,000 ft. A lower cabin altitude means less fatigue and better sleep on long flights.
Beds
Up to 8 in flat beds and made-up divans, depending on the layout.
Cabin updates
Nuage seats, a new seat design from Bombardier with a reclined zero-gravity position. Bombardier Vision flight deck with fly-by-wire side sticks, a head-up display and enhanced and synthetic vision. Optional principal suite with a full-size bed.

How much does a Global 7500 cost?
A new Global 7500 listed at about $75 million in 2024. Production has ended, so most buyers look at pre-owned aircraft. Owning one also means paying to fly and maintain it, which is why most people who fly a few times a year charter instead.

Global 7500 charter cost per hour in the UAE (2026)
You pay for flight time, not the aircraft. Heavy jets like the Global 7500 charter at about AED 43.8k to AED 68.1k per flight hour; the quote adds positioning, crew overnights, airport charges and taxes for your exact trip.
Heavy jets, per flight hour
What moves the price
- Positioning: one-way trips usually pay for the empty flight home.
- Crew overnights and waiting days on multi-day trips.
- Airport and handling fees, plus the airport departure fee.
- Empty legs can cut the price sharply when one matches your dates.
Charter or own?
Owning a Global 7500 costs about AED 6.43 million a year before it flies (crew, hangar, insurance), plus about AED 33,200 for every flight hour. At the hours most owners fly, chartering costs less per hour, and you pay nothing when you do not fly.
| You fly | Owning (per hour) | Charter in the UAE (per hour) |
|---|---|---|
| 50 hours a year | AED 162,000 per hour | AED 43.8k to AED 68.1k per hour |

Events from official investigations. We also check the record of the exact aircraft and operator before we book.
March 2022
A VistaJet Global 7500 (9H-VIG) got a right engine fire warning while climbing out of Riyadh. The crew shut the engine down and landed back at Riyadh. Nobody was hurt and damage was minor. The NTSB found fuel leaking at a fuel nozzle connection had caught fire.
October 2022
A Global 7500 (N899ST) landing at Hong Kong pitched nose up when the crew used full reverse thrust while still holding back on the side stick. The lower thrust reverser doors on both engines hit the runway. Nobody was hurt. Hong Kong's Air Accident Investigation Authority made three recommendations to Bombardier on pilot handling and envelope protection.
