Long-range Global 5500 business jet goes into service

The Canadian firm Bombardier has announced that its long-range Global 5500 business jet, which was recently delivered to an undisclosed customer, has gone into normal operational service.

Last year, the financially troubled firm announced that the Global 5500 aircraft can fly 200 nautical miles more than planned, and its new range of 5,900 nautical miles is 700 nautical miles more than the nearest competitor at the same speed.

“This spacious and efficient aircraft is the ultimate business tool, with the range and access to safely take our customers where they need to be,” said David Coleal, President, Bombardier Aviation. “The first Global 5500 aircraft delivery is of particular significance for our employees in Wichita, who recently took on the meticulous work of interior completions for the Global 5000 and Global 5500 aircraft.”

Bombardier’s Wichita site has a rich history as the manufacturing centre of the iconic Learjet. Over the years, Bombardier expanded the site’s operations to include a world-class service centre, as well as its Flight Test Center and Specialized Aircraft operations. Completion work for the stunning Global 5000 and Global 5500 aircraft cabins is the latest diversification for this skilled workforce.
