The Bombardier Global 6500 is one of the most popular business jets with our charter clients. Our private jet director in London, Jessie Howes, explains why.
Spotlight on the Bombardier Global 6500
“Since entering the market in 2019, the Bombardier Global 6500 has become one of the most sought-after aircraft in its class for owners and charter clients alike,” says our private jets director in London, Jessie Howes.
“Its winning combination of luxury, speed and ultra-long range has redefined comfort and performance in the business jet sector, appealing to passengers travelling for either work or leisure.” Here, Jessie tells us more about why the Global 6500 is so popular.
The Global 6500 – a snapshot
“The Global 6500’s luxurious 43-foot cabin is the widest in its class,” says Jessie. “This means there’s plenty of space to relax onboard without feeling like you’re under each other’s feet, even with 13 passengers on a flight. If you need a little privacy, the aircraft’s three-zone layout means you can shut the door to work or relax in peace, and there’s a dedicated crew rest area and forward lavatory to ensure you have sole use of passenger amenities.
“This impressive aircraft appeals to a range of charter clients, from government officials to film stars. As well as the incredible amount of overall space, our customers love the fact it’s a home-from-home where they can eat, sleep and work in total comfort whilst in the air.”
“The Global 6500 reaches top speeds of Mach 0.90 and boasts one of the longest ranges in its class,” Jessie explains. “This means it’s capable of flying non-stop for around 13 hours without refuelling, connecting London with other major destinations like Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Barbados, Singapore, Mumbai, Toluca and Madrid.
“This aircraft is one of our most-requested charter solutions when customers need to travel overnight, as it offers similar levels of comfort to a five-star hotel. Passengers can enjoy gourmet cuisine, a restful sleep and even a shower onboard, before landing well-rested and ready to head straight from the airport to a meeting or holiday excursion.”
The interior
“Most Global 6500s are configured to seat 13 passengers in three spacious zones, with a living/dining/sleeping layout that our customers often liken to flying in a luxury apartment,” notes Jessie. “A club suite at the front is followed by a conference suite with a large table that’s perfect for conference calls or sit-down meals. Then there’s the elegant private suite, which doubles up as a stylish bedroom with a full-berthing divan and ensuite bathroom.
“A decent galley is essential for a long-range business jet, as our clients often ask for hot meals to be served onboard on lengthier flights. The Global 6500 outshines the competition with a large full-service kitchen at the front of the plane, which is packed with designer-home features like a steam oven. The space is well-equipped to meet a range of inflight catering demands, whether it’s a three-course meal or a grazing platter.”
“From sound-proofing to the latest technologies, every aspect of the Global 6500’s bright and modern interior is designed with comfort in mind,” Jessie continues. “The extra-wide ergonomic seats have a deep recline, tall armrests and tilting headrests, while a sophisticated air purification system fills the cabin with 100 percent fresh air.
“Leisure customers can enjoy ultra-HD entertainment in the 4K-enabled cabin, while hyper-fast Wi-Fi allows business clients to work on the move. The baggage hold has space for 15 suitcases, so everyone can bring at least one item of luggage. What’s more, it’s fully accessible from the cabin, allowing passengers to access their bags during the flight.”
Tailored to your requirements
“The Global 6500’s market-leading comfort and performance make it an unbeatable charter solution for many of our customers,” Jessie concludes. “It’s an aircraft we can confidently recommend to meet even the most demanding of briefs for a premium travel experience. Complementing the aircraft’s impressive credentials, we can elevate your charter even further with a range of bespoke details tailored to your preferences.
“Our experienced team will work with the operator to create custom menus, ensure the cabin is a certain temperature or request for the beds to be made up ready for when you board. We can even source celebration cakes and decorations if you’re marking a special occasion onboard. Whatever personalised elements you want your charter to include, simply let your account manager know and they’ll make it happen.”
