Global Express XRS

Production of the Global Express XRS ran from 2006 to 2011, with 163 aircraft built. The type succeeded the original Global Express directly and shared its airframe, engines, and cabin cross-section. Bombardier certified the Global Vision Flight Deck as a retrofit option for XRS aircraft in 2010.

The Bombardier Global Express XRS is an ultra long range twin-engine jet built by Bombardier Aviation. Produced from 2006 to 2011, it carries up to 19 passengers across a 6,150-nautical-mile range at 488 knots. Two Rolls-Royce BR710-A2-20 engines with FADEC produce 14,750 lbf each, unchanged from the original Global Express. The XRS added 150 nm of range and a higher climb rate on the same 48.4-foot three-zone airframe.

The Global Express XRS did not change the airframe, engines, or cabin. Bombardier's improvements were targeted at two specific operational shortfalls of the original Global Express: range and climb rate.

First, the XRS added 150 nm of published range over the Global Express, extending the total to 6,150 nm. That increment opens additional city pairs for nonstop operation and provides more fuel reserve flexibility on longer sectors.

Second, the XRS raised the initial climb rate to 4,000 fpm from the Global Express's 3,900 fpm, allowing the aircraft to reach its cruising altitude more quickly and spend more time at optimal cruise altitude on medium-length sectors.

Third, Bombardier certified the Global Vision Flight Deck as a retrofit option for XRS aircraft in 2010. The Global Vision system replaces the original Honeywell Primus 2000 XP CRT displays with modern LCD screens and updated flight management capabilities.

The XRS also introduced the Extra Range Speed designation specifically to communicate the range improvement to operators evaluating upgrades from the original Global Express. Approximately 163 aircraft were delivered between 2006 and 2011 or 2012.

The Global Express XRS was the final direct variant of the original Global Express before Bombardier introduced the Global 6000 as the platform's full modernization.

Approximately 163 XRS aircraft were delivered, more than the 150 original Global Express units, reflecting growing operator demand for ultra long range business jets through the mid-2000s.

Pre-owned Global Express XRS aircraft today typically trade between roughly $11.5 million and $17 million depending on year, total time, and avionics configuration. Aircraft fitted with the Global Vision Flight Deck command a meaningful premium over those retaining the original Primus 2000 XP suite.

The Global 6000, introduced in 2012, carried the Global Express XRS airframe forward with a new Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics suite and other system updates, representing the first major avionics overhaul of the platform since its original introduction in 1999.

An ultra long range jet operates at a higher hourly rate in exchange for transoceanic range, a larger three-zone cabin, and capabilities unavailable on heavy jets.

• More range: 6,150 nm covers New York to Tokyo and Sydney to Singapore nonstop, well beyond the 4,000 to 4,350 nm of leading heavy jets.
• Three zones: a fully partitioned forward, mid, and aft layout versus open or two-zone cabins in most heavy jets.
• Higher ceiling: 51,000 feet versus 41,000 to 45,000 feet for most heavy jets, enabling flight above nearly all commercial traffic.
• More baggage: 195 cubic feet, in-flight accessible, versus 115 to 169 cubic feet for most heavy jets.
• Best mission: large groups needing transoceanic nonstop range with a three-zone cabin for productivity, dining, and rest on sectors up to 13 hours.

The Global Express XRS seats up to 19 passengers. Standard charter configurations seat 13 across three fully separated zones.

• A forward zone with club seating designed for productivity and conversation.
• A mid-cabin zone with a conference table or dining area supporting fine dining service from the galley.
• An aft zone with divans that convert to full lie-flat sleeping positions.
• Cabin height is 6.2 feet; full stand-up headroom throughout all three zones, unchanged from the original Global Express.
• Forward and aft lavatories provide separation between cabin zones; the full-service galley supports hot meal preparation.
• 195 cubic feet of in-flight accessible baggage space, accommodating approximately 15 suitcases.

The Bombardier Global Express XRS cabin is 48.4 feet long, 8.2 feet wide, and 6.2 feet tall. Three fully separated zones support productivity, dining, and rest. Cabin pressurization holds a 6,000-foot equivalent altitude at cruise. The aircraft seats up to 19 passengers with 195 cubic feet of in-flight accessible baggage capacity.

Within the Global Express family, the XRS offers 150 nm more range than the original Global Express with the option of the modern Global Vision Flight Deck. The Global 6000 provides a full avionics modernization on the same airframe with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion suite.

The 6,150-nautical-mile range covers transoceanic routes including New York to Tokyo and Los Angeles to Tokyo nonstop under favorable conditions.

The cost to charter a Bombardier Global Express XRS is typically $9,500 to $13,500 per flight hour. New York to Los Angeles one-way rental runs approximately $54,500 to $67,500. New York to London one-way charter price is approximately $80,500 to $100,500. Final all-in cost depends on operator, routing, positioning, and season. Fuel, crew, and maintenance are included in the hourly rate; landing fees, taxes, and repositioning are billed separately. Travelers seeking more cost-efficient private jet options can also explore available Empty Leg Flights for select routes.

The hourly rate covers core operational costs. Additional fees are quoted separately.

• Aircraft operation: fuel, crew, and maintenance are included in the hourly rate.
• Two certificated pilots: required for all operations.
• Federal excise tax and segment fees: federally mandated, quoted separately.
• Positioning costs: charged if the aircraft must reposition to your departure airport.
• International handling fees: apply on Caribbean, Canada, and other international flights.

The XRS kept the Global Express airframe and cabin unchanged while adding 150 nm of range, a higher climb rate, and the option of the Global Vision Flight Deck avionics upgrade.

Every Bombardier Global Express XRS 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 Global Express XRS carries Honeywell Primus 2000 XP avionics as standard; XRS aircraft certified for the Global Vision Flight Deck retrofit since 2010 may carry the updated suite. Twin Rolls-Royce BR710-A2-20 engines with FADEC and an 8,000-hour TBO power the type. Rolls-Royce and Bombardier Aviation continue to provide full parts and engineering support.

The Global Express XRS suits large groups on transoceanic routes where a three-zone cabin and nonstop range are priorities.
