BOMBARDIER'S PROVEN GLOBAL 7500 MAKES DEBUT AT SINGAPORE AIRSHOW, SMOOTHEST-FLYING ULTRA-LONG-RANGE BUSINESS JET

Bombardier Inc. is bringing its industry-defining Global 7500 aircraft to the Singapore Airshow, Feb. 20 to Feb. 25, making its debut at this important industry event. Truly in a class of its own, the Global 7500 aircraft has transformed business aviation with its refined design, unsurpassed performance and outstanding technological advancements.

The ultralong-range Global 7500 aircraft has proved to be the highest performing purpose-built business jet in the world. Holding the title of the longest-range flight in business aviation of over 8,225 nautical miles, Bombardier has delivered more than 150 aircraft, highlighting its high reliability and in-demand attributes. With a fleet dispatch reliability of more than 99.8 per cent through well over 100,000 flight hours, unsurpassed performance, outstanding technological advancements, cutting-edge sustainability attributes, and luxurious, exceptional cabins for maximum productivity and comfort, the Global 7500 is in a class of its own.

"Bombardier leads the way in the development of cutting-edge, industry-defining aircraft, and our Global 7500 aircraft embodies all of our outstanding craftsmanship, innovation and performance attributes that set it apart from the competition," said Jean-Christophe Gallagher, executive vice-president, aircraft sales and Bombardier Defense. "The Global 7500 aircraft is the perfect choice for our Asia Pacific customers seeking the finest business jet for long-distance travel. It is also a capable option for specialized and defence clients who need a reliable workhorse for a variety of missions."

The Global 7500 jet packs a punch when it comes to performance. It boasts a top speed of Mach 0.925 and a range of 7,700 nautical miles (14,260 kilometres), enabling it to have the capacity to set numerous speed and distance records. Recently, the Global 7500 aircraft set multiple speed records, showcasing its impressive performance attributes*. These accomplishments build on earlier speed and distance records, including the fastest flight from Los Angeles to New York and New York to London, as well as the longest ever flight out of London City Airport.

The Global 7500 aircraft also enables several key long-distance pairs from Singapore, including Singapore to San Francisco and Singapore to London, along with other key long-distance routes in the Asia Pacific region such as Hong Kong to New York, Tokyo to New York and Melbourne to Los Angeles.

An engineering masterpiece that enables clients to benefit from unsurpassed comfort and performance, the Global 7500 jet lets passengers experience the pinnacle of business aviation. Its technologically advanced smooth flex wing cuts down on drag, reduces fuel burn and lowers emissions, all the while offering the smoothest ride, as well as producing excellent short-field and high-speed performance.

Supreme luxury and productivity are the Global 7500's calling cards. Its stunning, spacious interior features four true living spaces, a full-size, superbly equipped kitchen and a dedicated crew suite, offering the ultimate inflight experience. Innovative design elements set the benchmark for the most exceptional cabin interior in business aviation, including Bombardier's patented Nuage seat, which features the industry's first zero-gravity position.

The aircraft also features the Soleil lighting system, the industry's most advanced cabin lighting technology. Designed and developed exclusively for the Global 7500 aircraft, this is aviation's first circadian-rhythm-based cabin lighting technology fully integrated with the flight management system, and it introduces the revolutionary dynamic daylight simulation feature, which helps to combat jet lag.

Essentially, the Global 7500 aircraft is the ultimate home in the sky, a reliable, productive business tool with its ultrafast Internet capabilities and impeccably designed cabins.
