Bombardier Global 7500 Speeds to Paris With Another Record
Twinjet traveled from Montreal in 5 hours 30 minutes
Global 7500
Bombardier's Global 7500 fleet has amassed more than 100 speed records.

Bombardier added a speed record to the rapidly growing Global 7500 stash while travelling from Montréal to Paris for the airshow this week. The ultra-long-range business jet departed from Pierre Elliott Trudeau International and landed at Paris-Le Bourget Airport 5 hours, 30 minutes later after reaching a top speed of more than 1,000 kph.

The record is among the more than 100 that Bombardier’s flagship has set, many of which have come in the past couple of years. A few weeks ago, the aircraft reclaimed its speed record from Paris to Montréal, completing the mission in less than six hours. It also has set a record for the longest missions flown by a purpose-built business jet with an 8,225-nm journey from Sydney to Detroit.
