Bombardier’s Global 7500 flagship continues to rapidly accrue speed records, with the total now at 100, the Canadian manufacturer announced this morning. That adds 25 more to the 75 the company announced for the Mach 0.925 ultra-long-range aircraft in December, a milestone reached at the time when deliveries had surpassed 200.

The 100th record was established on a flight that departed from Bombardier’s authorized service facility ACI Jet in San Luis Obispo, California, and landed at London Biggin Hill Airport on February 28 nine hours and 17 minutes later.  Other recent speed records connected city pairs, including Tokyo to San Francisco, London to Riyadh, Oakland to Tokyo, Hartford to Dubai, and Tokyo to Toronto, among many others.

The Global 7500 logged an 8,225 nm flight from Sydney to Detroit, which Bombardier said marked the longest flight recorded in business aviation. It also became the sector’s first to connect London City Airport to Los Angeles in a nonstop flight.

Since the Global 7500 entered into service in December 2018, the fleet has amassed 220,000 flying hours thus far, a number that Bombardier said “sets the stage” for the successor and even speedier Global 8000 at the end of the year.

“As these impressive records attest, the aircraft consistently shows it has the speed to successfully complete any type of mission,” said Jean-Christophe Gallagher, executive v-p of aircraft sales and Bombardier Defense. “And with our Global 8000 set to enter into service later this year, we can’t wait to build on this speed record momentum and take it to even higher levels across the fleet.”
