Bombardier Global 5500

The Bombardier Global 5500 is an ultra long range twin-engine jet in current production since 2019. It carries up to 16 passengers across a 5,900-nautical-mile range at Mach 0.90. Two Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 engines produce 15,125 lbf each. Maximum takeoff weight is 92,500 lbs and service ceiling is 51,000 feet. The 5500 takeoff distance is 5,340 feet and landing distance is 2,207 feet.

Three specific advances define the 5500 over the legacy 5000. The Pearl 15 engines, the Smooth Flex Wing, and the redesigned cabin.

First, Pearl 15 engines. The Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 replaces the BR710A2-20. Each Pearl 15 produces 15,125 lbf, 375 lbf more per engine than the BR710A2-20's 14,750 lbf. The result is 700 nm more range (5,900 vs 5,200 nm) and better field performance.

The Global 5500 takeoff distance is 5,340 feet versus the Global 5000's 5,540 feet. The shorter takeoff requirement comes from the Pearl 15's additional thrust. The Smooth Flex Wing also contributes, combining flexibility with refined aerodynamics. The Smooth Flex Wing acts as an in-air shock absorber. It dampens turbulence for the smoothest ride in the category.

Second, the Combined Vision System. The Global 5500 cockpit is the first in the industry to offer a true combined vision system. It is the only system to seamlessly merge enhanced and synthetic vision in a single view. This reduces crew workload and provides the clearest view through fog, rain, and low visibility.

Third, the redesigned cabin. The Nuage seating collection replaces conventional aircraft seats. The Nuage chaise converts from a lounge chair to a flat surface for sleeping. The Soleil lighting system is programmed to match circadian rhythms, helping passengers rest or stay alert as needed. Bombardier Pur Air features HEPA filtration and provides purified and 100% fresh air options.

The Global 5500 sits between the legacy 5000 and the current-production 6500 in the family. Its Pearl 15 engines, modern cabin, and 5,900 nm range distinguish it from legacy aircraft.

For missions under 5,900 nm with a charter group of up to 16, the Global 5500 is the current-production choice with the most modern systems. The Global 6500 adds 700 nm of range and a longer cabin for missions that need more reach.

The Global 5500 seats up to 16 passengers across three cabin zones. Standard charter configurations run 12 to 14.

• Club suite: Nuage seats with ergonomic design; converts from upright lounge position to a flat sleeping surface.
• Conference suite: Cross-aisle worksurfaces with credenza; formal dining and meeting configuration.
• Private suite: Partitioned aft section; designed for rest and maximum privacy.
• Soleil lighting: Full-spectrum circadian-based system; programmed to combat jet lag on long sectors.
• Bombardier l'Opera audio: Seat-centric speaker placement; super high-fidelity sound throughout the cabin.
• Bombardier Pur Air: HEPA filtration with purified and 100% fresh air options.
• Connectivity: Iridium Certus pole-to-pole satellite plus high-speed internet.

The Global 5500 cabin is 45.0 feet long, 8.2 feet wide, and 6.2 feet tall. Cabin pressurization holds a 5,760-foot equivalent altitude at cruise, lower than the Global 5000's 6,000-foot cabin altitude. The aircraft accommodates up to 16 passengers with 195 cubic feet of pressurized baggage accessible throughout the flight. The Vision flight deck carries four large displays, a Combined Vision System, and a Head-Up Display.

The 5,900-nautical-mile range connects Los Angeles to Moscow and Sao Paulo to Paris nonstop. New York to London is straightforward. The aircraft can access Aspen, London City, and St-Moritz, where competing aircraft cannot operate.

The cost to charter a Bombardier Global 5500 is typically $9,000 to $13,000 per flight hour. New York to London one-way rental runs approximately $78,500 to $98,500. New York to Paris one-way charter price runs approximately $83,000 to $101,000. Final all-in cost depends on operator, routing, positioning, and season. Flexible travelers can take advantage of available empty leg flights when aircraft reposition.

Every Bombardier Global 5500 charter coordinated by Hogani Jets is operated by an FAA Part 135 certificated direct air carrier holding full operational control of the flight. Each operator's certificate, insurance coverage, and safety record are independently reviewed before Hogani Jets coordinates a booking. Hogani Jets is an air charter broker and does not own or operate aircraft.

The 2024 AIN Product Support survey rated Bombardier first in the industry. The Global 5500 Combined Vision System is the first to seamlessly merge enhanced and synthetic vision. It improves situational awareness in adverse conditions.
