Bombardier Global 7500 smashes 75 plus speed records, LA-Auckland in under 12hrs
The Bombardier Global 7500 executive jet has smashed over 75 speed world records as the fleet of nearly 200 aircraft cruise around the globe.
On November 21, 2024, Bombardier announced that the Global 7500 had clocked multiple new records on routes that include Miami to São Paulo, Tokyo to Los Angeles, Tokyo to San Jose and Jeddah to London.
Three of the speed records highlighted by Bombardier were a flight between Los Angeles and Auckland in 11 hours and 55 minutes, a Tokyo-Hong Kong flight in three hours and 40 minutes and New Delhi to Tokyo in just seven hours.
“These new speed records continue to demonstrate that the Global 7500 is the proven and undisputed class leader and most capable business jet, transporting our customers to distant destinations quickly and efficiently,” said Jean-Christophe Gallagher, Executive Vice President, Aircraft Sales and Bombardier Defense.
Gallagher added: “What’s even more impressive about these records is that they are being achieved on routine flights, including some with passengers on board. We have repeatedly had the pleasure of having existing and potential customers on board for some of these record-breaking routes.”
