Bombardier Global 7500 vs Bombardier Global 6500
Both the Bombardier Global 6500 and Global 7500 are long-range, large-cabin business jets, but they sit in different tiers within Bombardier’s flagship Global family. The Global 6500 is positioned as a high-end long-range jet, designed for intercontinental missions while keeping operating size and cost below the largest ultra-long-range models. The Global 7500 is Bombardier’s top ultra-long-range offering, optimized for the longest nonstop routes and maximum cabin volume. In range, the Global 6500 is rated for about 6,600 nautical miles, while the Global 7500 extends that capability to about 7,700 nautical miles, enabling more city pairs nonstop and providing greater routing flexibility. Passenger capacity is similar in typical business-jet configurations, but the 7500 generally accommodates more people and more living space. The Global 6500 is typically arranged for around 13 passengers, while the Global 7500 is typically arranged for around 14, with certified maximum seating higher on the 7500 (up to about 19) depending on interior layout.
