The journey to this successful debut at NBAA-BACE began 18 months earlier at another celebration event, in Geneva. Bombardier stunned the industry on the eve of the annual European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) by dramatically unveiling the Global 6500 test aircraft. Before that night, the industry was unaware that Bombardier had other business jets on the horizon other than the industry flagship Global 7500 aircraft, which itself was close to entering service. Now, with the arrival of the outstanding Global 6500 aircraft on the heels of the Global 7500 aircraft, Bombardier is cementing its reputation as a leading manufacturer of outstanding business jets. Bombardier’s large-cabin Global family of business jets are renowned for having the smoothest ride along with leading-edge technology and innovation. From performance to avionics to cabin experience, Global aircraft are the large-cabin business aircraft of choice, with systems redundancy for invaluable peace of mind.
