Bombardier's Global 7500 Connects London City to LA
London City Airport's Gary Hodgetts said the May 11 flight was the longest ever out of LCY.

Bombardier’s 7,700-nm Global 7500 recently wrapped up a round of flight trials for steep approach approval, completing what the company claims is an industry first: a direct flight from London City Airport (LCY) to Van Nuys Airport (VNY) in California. Completed on May 11, the flight from LCY to VNY involved Bombardier’s fifth flight-test vehicle (FTV), which was configured with the equivalent weight of a fully fitted interior, including stateroom. It also carried 2,400 pounds of additional payload that represented about 11 passengers and baggage.
