Bombardier celebrated the delivery of the 100th Global 7500 yesterday during a ceremony at its Laurent Beaudoin Completion Centre in Montreal—an achievement reached in less than 3.5 years. The milestone aircraft was handed over to VistaJet, which now counts 10 of the 7,700-nm twinjets in its fleet and expects to have 17 of them by year-end.

“I am thrilled to celebrate the 100th delivery of the Global 7500 with our valued customer, VistaJet,” said Bombardier chairman and CEO Eric Martel. “VistaJet recognized early on that this aircraft would transform the business jet industry and the enormous success of Bombardier’s Global 7500 in transforming the private aviation industry. I would like to thank our teams in Montréal, Toronto, and Wichita for designing, building, and testing this amazing feat of technology.”
