Global 6000 Overview (2012-present)
Product Overview
The Global 6000 is the fourth and latest business jet aircraft model built by Bombardier to compete in the new ultra-long range large-cabin market. The Global 6000 has a large spacious cabin in excess of 2,000 cubic feet and can travel non-stop over 6,100 nm. The ultra-long range market is defined as a new group of large cabin business jets that can fly 6,000 nm or greater distance.
As of July 2017, 91% of the Global 6000 aircraft were purchased new by their current owners, the other 9% pre-owned. 4.7% are for sale with the majority of those (73%) under an exclusive broker agreement. When for sale, the average time on the market is 236 days.
Brief History
The Global 6000, which started delivering to customers in 2012, traces its roots to the Global Express XRS, which was the third ultra long-range large-cabin business jet, produced. A total of 280 Global 6000 aircraft have been manufactured with 241 in operation, 5 in production, and 24 at the manufacturer.
Two new aircraft will follow the Global 6000. They are the Global 7000 and Global 8000 ultra-long-range large cabin business jets.
