Bombardier Global 5500 vs Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 7500

The Bombardier Global 5500 and Global 6500 sit in the large-cabin, long-range business jet category, while the Global 7500 is Bombardier’s flagship ultra-long-range, ultra-large-cabin jet. The Global 5500 is the smaller of the two large-cabin models, typically suited to long intercontinental missions with a range of about 5,900 nautical miles and a usual passenger load around 8 to 16, depending on layout. The Global 6500 is a step up in the same general class, offering more capability and space, with a range of about 6,600 nautical miles and a similar typical capacity of roughly 8 to 17 passengers. The Global 7500 moves into a higher tier with a substantially larger cabin and longer legs, delivering about 7,700 nautical miles of range and commonly accommodating about 8 to 19 passengers in executive configurations (with high-density layouts possible). Overall, the choice trends from 5500 for long range in a slightly smaller package, to 6500 for added reach and comfort, to 7500 for maximum range and cabin volume.
