Bombardier Global Express.

When distance and comfort are equally non-negotiable, a Bombardier Global Express charter stands in a class of its own among Heavy Jets. Introduced in 1996 as the world’s first purpose-built ultra-long-range business jet, the Global Express redefined what passengers could expect from intercontinental private travel — combining a generously proportioned cabin with a 6,200 nm range that eliminates the need for fuel stops on the world’s most demanding routes. Its twin Rolls-Royce BR710A2-20 engines deliver a cruise speed of 488 knots, meaning fewer hours in the air and more time at your destination. At Prime Jet Services, we offer access to this proven platform for clients who refuse to compromise on reach, space, or refinement.

History & Development

The Bombardier Global Express was conceived in the early 1990s as a direct response to growing corporate demand for a business jet capable of flying between any two points on earth with minimal stops. Bombardier partnered with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for structural components and selected Rolls-Royce to develop the BR710 engine specifically for the program — a collaboration that underscored the aircraft’s ambition and global scope. The type received Transport Canada and FAA certification in 1996, entering service that same year and immediately establishing a new benchmark for ultra-long-range private aviation. Its commercial success laid the architectural foundation for the entire Bombardier Global family that followed, cementing the original Global Express as one of the most consequential business jets ever produced.

Cabin & Comfort

The Global Express cabin stretches 14.18 metres in length, with a 2.44-metre width and 1.88-metre stand-up headroom that together create a living environment closer to a private apartment than a conventional aircraft interior. Typically configured across three distinct zones — a forward lounge, a mid-cabin dining and conference area, and an aft private suite — the aircraft can accommodate up to 16 passengers while offering a dedicated crew rest area and full-size galley for long-haul meal preparation. Noise-dampening insulation and high-performance pressurisation keep cabin altitude impressively low on extended flights, reducing passenger fatigue on routes measured in tens of hours. A generous 195 cu ft of dedicated baggage space means luggage, sporting equipment, and business materials travel with the same ease as the passengers themselves.

Ideal Routes from Dubai

With a 6,200 nm range, the Global Express connects Dubai non-stop to an exceptional spread of global destinations that suit both business and leisure travel. Dubai to London Heathrow (approximately 7.5 hours), Dubai to Singapore Changi (roughly 7 hours), and Dubai to Beijing Capital (around 8.5 hours) all fall comfortably within the aircraft’s reach without any fuel stop. For transatlantic missions, Dubai to New York JFK — approximately 13–14 hours with a single en-route stop — becomes a manageable single-day journey at the aircraft’s cruise speed.

Compare Similar Aircraft

Clients considering the Global Express frequently evaluate it alongside other long-range and ultra-long-range Heavy Jets offering comparable cabin volume and intercontinental capability. The most common comparisons are with the G550, the Falcon 8X, and the Legacy 650E — each offering a distinct combination of range, cabin layout, and operational economics worth discussing with our charter team.
