The Bombardier Global 6000 is a large-cabin, ultra-long-range business jet developed as part of Bombardier’s Global series. Introduced as an evolution of the Global Express XRS, the Global 6000 was first produced in 2011, with production continuing through 2024 before being phased out in favor of the newer Global 6500. The design emphasized extended range, advanced avionics, and a more refined passenger experience compared to its predecessor.
Powered by two Rolls-Royce BR710A2-20 turbofan engines, each producing 14,750 pounds of thrust, the Global 6000 offers a maximum range of approximately 6,000 nautical miles at Mach 0.85. The jet has a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 99,500 pounds and a balanced field length of about 6,200 feet under standard conditions. Its high-speed cruise reaches Mach 0.89, while the long-range cruise setting is optimized for intercontinental missions.
The cabin is one of the aircraft’s defining features, with a volume of roughly 2,002 cubic feet. Measuring 48 feet 4 inches in length, 7 feet 11 inches in width, and 6 feet 2 inches in height, the interior accommodates 13–16 passengers in a standard business configuration. The layout typically includes three distinct living zones, a galley, and an aft stateroom option, providing exceptional comfort for extended missions.
The Global 6000 combined range, cabin capacity, and speed to serve as a flagship platform for multinational corporations, governments, and charter operators. Its blend of performance and interior refinement made it a highly competitive choice in the ultra-long-range category prior to the transition to the Global 6500.
