Bombardier has announced that its flagship aircraft, the Global 7500, has set a new speed record on a mission departing from Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport in Montreal, and landing at Paris-Le Bourget Airport.
The Global 7500, renowned for its unparalleled capabilities, logged another record with a top speed of over 1,000 km/hr during its flight to Paris and completed the record in 5 hours and 30 minutes.
This accomplishment comes as the Bombardier team is gearing up to host customers at the International Paris Air Show, with the company’s presence anchored by Bombardier Defense.
Éric Martel, president and CEO of Bombardier said: “The Global 7500 performs at the highest levels across the board, in real-world situations.
“Bombardier takes great pride in completing meaningful speed records, like this latest one, during regular day-to-day operations with passengers, baggage and cargo, setting it apart from peers.
“As we are getting ready for the entry into service of the Global 8000 aircraft later this year, the Global 7500 aircraft keeps demonstrating its superiority on all fronts, from its signature smooth ride to its industry-leading performance and landing capabilities.”
Bombardier has a proud history of setting speed records with the Global 7500. Only a few weeks ago, the Global 7500 reclaimed the speed record from Paris to Montreal, completing the flight in less than 6 hours.
Previous achievements include breaking the record for the longest mission ever flown by a purpose-built business jet, covering 8,225 nautical miles non-stop from Sydney to Detroit.
These milestones underscore Bombardier’s commitment to innovation and excellence in aviation.
