What the Bombardier Global 6000 is like

Ultra-long-range flagship with a three-zone cabin (conference/dining, lounge, private stateroom) that typically carries 13 passengers in standout comfort; its 6,000 nm legs cover missions like London–Los Angeles, New York–Dubai or Hong Kong–Sydney nonstop at Mach 0.85.

Where the Bombardier Global 6000 flies nonstop

Great-circle distances between business aviation airports, against its 6,000 nm range. We mark a route near the limit once it uses more than 85 percent of the published range, because a full cabin or a headwind can turn it into a fuel stop.

Time at cruise leaves out taxi, climb, descent and the day’s winds, so a real block time runs longer.

Questions

Bombardier Global 6000: charter questions

Typically 13 in charter configuration. Cabin layouts differ from one aircraft to the next, so ask the operator for the seat map of the exact aircraft you are quoted, and how many of the seats convert to beds if you fly overnight.
About 6,000 nautical miles (11,112 km, 6,905 statute miles), or roughly 12.5 hours at its typical cruise speed of 488 knots. That is the published figure, which assumes a light load, calm winds and standard fuel reserves: a full cabin, heavy bags, headwinds or a cold-weather alternate airport all cut it.
It cruises around 488 knots, about 562 mph or 904 km/h. Block time on a real trip adds taxi, climb, descent and the day’s winds.
Yes, on paper. Los Angeles to Tokyo is about 4,746 nautical miles, within the Bombardier Global 6000’s 6,000, and takes roughly 9.5 hours at cruise speed before taxi, climb and winds. New York to Hong Kong (6,989 nm) is beyond it and needs a fuel stop. The operator confirms it for your passengers, bags and date.
An ultra-long-range jet. Flagship cabins with separate zones, for intercontinental flights nonstop. Comparable aircraft in our catalog: Dassault Falcon 7X, Dassault Falcon 8X, Gulfstream V and Gulfstream G550.
A charter is priced per trip, not per seat: the route, dates, repositioning of the aircraft, overnight crew costs and fees all go into the quote, so we quote the trip rather than publish one figure. Our guide to private jet costs has dated price ranges by aircraft size, and our charter desk quotes this aircraft and its alternatives for your dates.
