The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has granted approval for Bombardier’s newest members of the Global family—the Global 5500 and 6500—clearing the way for the ultra-long-range models to be registered in an EU country. European validation follows Transport Canada certification last month and entry-into-service of the first Global 6500 on September 30. That first aircraft was leased back to Bombardier, which will display it next week during NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas.
