BOMBARDIER GLOBAL 5000
Bombardier Global 5000: The Shorter, Faster Global
The 2005 Speed Demon
In 2005, Bombardier introduced the Global 5000 — the Global Express's shorter, faster sibling. While the Express prioritized maximum range, the 5000 optimized for speed and airport access. With 5,200 nm (9,630 km) range and Mach 0.89 high — speed cruise, the 5000 could fly New York to London in 6 hours — faster than competitors with longer range.
Specifications That Prioritized Speed
• Range: 9,630 km (5,200 nm) — transatlantic with speed
• Speed: Mach 0.89 high — speed, Mach 0.85 long-range cruise
• Capacity: Up to 16 passengers in the Global cabin
• Engines: Rolls-Royce BR710A2-20 (14,750 lbf) — same as Express
• Takeoff: 5,540 ft — shorter than the Express for better access
The 5000 sacrificed 800 nm of range compared to the Express, but gained better runway performance, faster cruise, and lower operating costs. It became the choice for operators who valued speed over ultimate range.

The Market Today
Pre-owned Global 5000 aircraft trade between $8M and $14M — remarkable value for a transatlantic-capable ultra long-range jet. Operating costs: $4,500 – 5,500 per hour — charter rates around $11,500 per hour.
The Verdict
The Bombardier Global 5000 is the aircraft that proved "ultra long-range" doesn't have to mean "slow." It optimized the Global formula for speed and access.
For the buyer seeking a Global 5000, you're acquiring the fastest Global — the aircraft that says getting there quickly is as important as getting there non-stop.
