Bombardier is proud to announce that its flagship Global 7500 aircraft has achieved a new speed milestone, completing a transatlantic flight from Montréal’s Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport to Paris-Le Bourget Airport in just 5 hours and 30 minutes. During the flight, the aircraft exceeded a top speed of 1,000 km/h, further reinforcing its status as the world’s fastest business jet.
This latest achievement adds to the Global 7500’s rapidly growing list of over 100 records and highlights its unmatched ability to connect key global cities faster than any other business aircraft. The record-setting flight comes just as Bombardier prepares to welcome customers at the International Paris Air Show, with the company’s presence anchored by Bombardier Defense.
“The Global 7500 consistently delivers top-tier performance in real-world conditions,” said Éric Martel, President and CEO of Bombardier. “Setting records with passengers, baggage, and cargo on board—as part of regular operations—sets this aircraft apart from anything else in the market. As we prepare for the entry into service of the Global 8000 later this year, the Global 7500 continues to showcase its superiority in every aspect, from its smooth ride to its exceptional performance and landing capabilities.”
The Global 7500 has a legacy of speed and endurance records. Just weeks ago, it reclaimed the speed record on the return leg from Paris to Montréal, completing the journey in under six hours. It also holds the record for the longest mission ever flown by a purpose-built business jet, traveling 8,225 nautical miles non-stop from Sydney to Detroit. These feats reflect Bombardier’s commitment to innovation and excellence in aviation.
Engineered for the needs of global business travelers, the Global 7500 offers a maximum range of 7,700 nautical miles and a customizable, ultra-spacious cabin. With four distinct living areas—including a full-sized kitchen—it delivers a premium travel experience. Advanced connectivity and ergonomic seating ensure passengers can work or unwind in comfort, arriving at their destination refreshed and ready to perform.
