Global 5000 and 6000 Series

Along with the approval, the Montreal-based manufacturer also announced the delivery of the first 6500 on order with HK Bellawings.

The Canadian airframer says its Global Global 5500 now has a range of 5,900 nm.

Certification comes about 16 months after the Montreal-headquartered manufacturer took the wraps off the 5500 and 6500.

With the public debut of Bombardier's new flagship Global 7000, Nexcelle's integrated propulsion system shares some of the spotlight at NBAA.
