Bombardier Global 5500.

A Bombardier Global 5500 charter represents one of the most refined Ultra Long Range private aviation experiences available today, combining the evolved airframe of the Global 5000 with the fuel-efficient power of Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 engines. With a range of 5,700 nm and a cruise speed of 488 kts, this aircraft connects Dubai nonstop to destinations across Europe, Asia, and Africa without compromise. The wide 2.44 m cabin and generous 12.62 m cabin length accommodate up to 16 passengers in exceptional comfort, making it equally suited to executive travel and group charters. Prime Jet Services offers access to this outstanding Ultra Long Range jet with the seamless, discreet service Dubai’s most discerning travellers expect.

History & Development

The Global 5500 was launched by Bombardier at the 2018 NBAA Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition, entering service in 2019 as a comprehensive re-engineering of the proven Global 5000 platform. Rather than a simple update, Bombardier redesigned the aircraft from the wing aerodynamics inward, pairing it with the all-new Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 engine to deliver meaningful gains in range, fuel efficiency, and cabin noise reduction. The Global 5500 achieved Transport Canada and FAA type certification in 2019, and was positioned to bridge the gap between large-cabin jets and true ultra-long-range aircraft at a compelling operational cost. It quickly earned recognition for offering one of the quietest cabins in its class, reinforcing Bombardier’s reputation for engineering-led innovation in business aviation.

Cabin & Comfort

Stepping aboard the Global 5500, passengers are greeted by a cabin that stands 1.88 m tall and stretches 12.62 m in length — generous enough to configure distinct zones for dining, work, and rest across up to 16 seats. The Pearl 15 engines contribute to a notably hushed environment, allowing conversation and rest without the fatigue typical of long-haul travel. A dedicated full-service galley supports catered meals at altitude, while the lavatory and dressing area are finished to a standard consistent with the finest hotel suites. The aircraft’s 195 cu ft of baggage volume ensures that extended journeys, ski trips, or multi-destination business tours can be undertaken without leaving anything behind, and in-flight connectivity keeps passengers productive or entertained throughout.

Ideal Routes from Dubai

With a 5,700 nm range, the Global 5500 handles Dubai’s most sought-after long-haul routes with authority and without technical stops. Passengers can fly nonstop from Dubai to London in approximately 7 hours, to Singapore in around 7.5 hours, or to Nairobi in roughly 5 hours — all routes well within the aircraft’s capability. Eastward, destinations such as Beijing or Shanghai are also achievable nonstop, opening the full breadth of Asia to travellers departing the UAE.

Compare Similar Aircraft

Clients evaluating the Global 5500 often weigh it against other high-performance long-range jets in the same tier. The most commonly compared alternatives include the G550, which offers a comparable range profile, the Falcon 8X, favoured for its three-engine reliability and trijet range, and the Global 7500, Bombardier’s own flagship for those requiring even greater range and cabin space.
