While Bombardier is continuing development of its new Global 6500 program, the in-production Global 6000 captured new orders with the most recent announcement of the sale of four to an undisclosed customer. Bombardier, which announced the order yesterday, valued the transaction at $310 million based on list prices and an accompanying contract for services.

 


Bombardier did not detail the delivery plans but has maintained that the 6,000-nm&nbsp;Global 6000 and its Global 5000 (5,200-nm) sibling would remain in production depending on market demand. The company late next year plans to begin delivery of the next generation of the Global models, the 6500 and 5500, which will sport new <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2018-05-28/rolls-royce-pearl-15-marks-launch-new-engine-family">Rolls-Royce Pearl engines</a>, a re-profiled wing, and new flight deck and interior features including a Collins combined vision system head-up display. Initial plans call for all four models—including the 5000 and 6000—to be built simultaneously.

 


The Global 5000/6000 family has remained a solid seller for Bombardier, with approximately 50 of the aircraft handed over in most years, peaking at 80 in 2014.&nbsp;Twenty-nine of the aircraft have been handed over through the first three quarters of this year.

 


The 6000, which can reach speeds of Mach 0.89, can link Moscow to Los Angeles nonstop with eight passengers and four crew.&nbsp;The aircraft is offered with Bombardier’s Premier cabin, which&nbsp;incorporates features based on the flagship Global 7500 interior.
