Bombardier Completes Global 7500 Flight Testing
Bombardier is now ramping up Global 7500 final assembly in Toronto, with 20 aircraft now in various build stages on the line.

With more than 2,400 hours logged to date, flight testing of Bombardier’s Global 7500 is now complete, company president and CEO Alain Bellemare told financial analysts today during a second-quarter conference call. Certification and entry-into-service of the new 7,700-nm business jet are “on track” and expected by year-end, he said. Though it’s unclear how many 7500s will be delivered this year, Bellemare estimates that 15 to 20 will be handed over to customers in 2019.
