Bombardier Global 5000: Specifications, Range and History

The Bombardier Global 5000 is a large-cabin, long-range business jet derived from the Global Express. Bombardier shortened the fuselage and cabin to trade some range for lower weight and cost, keeping the wide Global cross-section.

Bombardier announced the Global 5000 in October 2001. It first flew on 7 March 2003 and entered service in April 2005. In 2018 there were 224 in service; the Global 5500 succeeded it in 2020.
