What is the Bombardier Global 5000?
The Bombardier Global 5000 is a long-range heavy business jet. Most seat 13 passengers in three cabin zones, and it flies about 5,200 nm non-stop. It is a shorter version of the Global Express, entered service in 2005, and more than 220 had been built by 2018.
Three cabin zones for 13 passengers in the usual layout: a forward club, a conference group and an aft lounge with a divan.
5,200 nm of range at Mach 0.85 with 8 passengers and 3 crew, with NBAA IFR reserves.
Cabin held at 4,500 ft while flying at 45,000 ft, and 5,680 ft at the 51,000 ft ceiling.
Wide cabin: 7 ft 11 in (2.41 m) across and 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m) tall, with a 195 cu ft hold you can reach in flight.
2 fly with 1 operator holding a UK CAA Air Operator Certificate, based in Stansted. Altivo Jets books them through these certified operators.

Fuel burn and CO2
The Global 5000 burns about 506 US gallons (1,532 kg) of jet fuel an hour, which puts out about 4.8 tonnes of CO2. Sustainable aviation fuel, where the departure airport has it, cuts the lifecycle figure.
| Flight | Fuel | CO2 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 flight hour | 1,530 kg | 4.8 tonnes |
| 3 flight hours | 4,600 kg | 14.5 tonnes |
| 8 flight hours | 12,260 kg | 38.7 tonnes |
Average block figures; real burn depends on weight, altitude and winds. Fuel at 0.8 kg per litre.

How much does a Global 5000 cost?
A new Global 5000 listed at about $50.4 million in 2018. 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 5000 charter cost per hour in the UK (2026)
You pay for flight time, not the aircraft. Heavy jets like the Global 5000 charter at about £9k to £14k 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 Air Passenger Duty and any VAT.
- Empty legs can cut the price sharply when one matches your dates.
Charter or own?
Owning a Global 5000 costs about £1.72 million a year before it flies (crew, hangar, insurance), plus about £8,900 for every flight hour. At the hours most owners fly, chartering costs less per hour, and you pay nothing when you do not fly.

Where the Global 5000 can land
A long-range jet that still fits runways of about 5,500 ft.
Runway needed
About 5,540 ft to take off at maximum weight at sea level, and about 2,207 ft for a typical landing. Hot or high airports need more.
Enhanced vision
Many aircraft have a head-up display and Bombardier enhanced vision, which help the crew see the runway in poor visibility.
Short runways
The pilots sit 17.2 ft above the main wheels. At short runways with slope lights built for smaller jets, crews must allow for this.

Global Express, Global 5000, Global 5000 Vision and Global 5500
Global Express and XRS
The original long-range Global. The Global 5000 is a shorter, lighter version of it. The XRS, announced in October 2003, added fuel for 6,500 nm at Mach 0.82 and later became the Global 6000.
Global 5000
Launched in February 2002, first flown on 7 March 2003 and certified in 2004. It entered service in April 2005. Early aircraft flew about 4,800 nm; a February 2008 weight increase took range to about 5,200 nm.
Global 5000 Vision
The same airframe with the Bombardier Vision flight deck, based on Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics. EASA certified it in February 2012.
Global 5500
Unveiled in May 2018 and certified in 2019. The first was delivered in June 2020. It keeps the cabin cross-section but adds a re-profiled wing, Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 engines, Nuage seats and 5,900 nm of range.
Bombardier Global 5000 vs Global 6000
- Cabin length: the Global 5000 cabin is 5.9 ft (1.8 m) shorter than the Global 6000 cabin.
- Range: about 5,200 nm against 6,000 nm.
- Fuel: 39,250 lb against 45,050 lb, because the Global 5000 has no tail tank.
- Maximum takeoff weight: 92,500 lb against 99,500 lb.
- New price in 2018: about $50.4 million against $62.3 million.

Global 5000 safety record
Events from official investigations and safety databases. We also check the record of the exact aircraft and operator before we book.
November 2007
A Global 5000 (C-GXPR) touched down just short of the runway at Fox Harbour, Nova Scotia, in gusty crosswinds. The right main gear collapsed and the aircraft was badly damaged. Two of the ten people on board were seriously hurt. The Canadian TSB found the approach crossed the threshold too low, and the crew did not know the slope lights were unsafe for the aircraft's 17.2 ft eye-to-wheel height.
November 2016
A Global 5000 (VP-CKM) descended to 390 ft on approach to Hong Kong where it was cleared to 1,700 ft. The UK AAIB found acute fatigue and poor crew communication, and weak operator oversight of its procedures.
January 2024
A Global 5000 (CS-GLY) on a ferry flight crossed a runway at Dubai while an Airbus A330 was taking off; they came within about 1,330 m. Nobody was hurt. The UAE GCAA cited a non-standard clearance and the crew not asking for clarification.
