DOUBLE PARTY BY DELIVERY OF FIRST BOMBARDIER GLOBAL 7500 TO NETJETS
NetJets has taken delivery of its first Bombardier Global 7500. The handing over of the keys was also a milestone for the Canadian aircraft manufacturer. It has now transferred a thousand devices from the Global series.
The Bombardier Global family consists of the Global 5000, Global 5500, Global 6000, Global 6500, Global Express XRS and the new Global 7500 and Global 8000. These types are used by both civilian and military customers. The business jet series is based on the successful Challenger series, which in turn produced the CRJ series used by airlines for regional routes.
With the Global 7500, NetJets gets its hands on a type that can cover 14,260 kilometers non-stop. As a result, owners can, for example, fly from New York to Beijing or from San Francisco to Sydney in one go. The American business jet company has ordered twenty copies.
The keys to the first aircraft were handed over by Bombardier CEO Éric Martel to NetJets boss Patrick Gallagher.
