Brief History
The Global Express XRS was the third business jet aircraft model built by Bombardier to compete in the ultra-long range large-cabin market. It is reported that the letters have no significance but were chosen simply to improve the brand image. The Global Express XRS entered into service in 2004 and production was stopped in 2012. A total of 163 Global Express XRS business jets were built with 2 still at the manufacturer and 2 retired.
