Celebration of Global 7500 100th speed record
The 100th Bombardier speed record was established on a flight that departed from Bombardier’s authorized service facility ACI Jet in San Luis Obispo, California, and landed at London Biggin Hill Airport.

Bombardier’s Global 7500 flagship continues to rapidly accrue speed records, with the total now at 100, the Canadian manufacturer announced this morning. That adds 25 more to the 75 the company announced for the Mach 0.925 ultra-long-range aircraft in December, a milestone reached at the time when deliveries had surpassed 200.

The 100th record was established on a flight that departed from Bombardier’s authorized service facility ACI Jet in San Luis Obispo, California, and landed at London Biggin Hill Airport on February 28 nine hours and 17 minutes later.  Other recent speed records connected city pairs, including Tokyo to San Francisco, London to Riyadh, Oakland to Tokyo, Hartford to Dubai, and Tokyo to Toronto, among many others.
