As the world’s rich get richer, their choices of luxury travel become more extravagant. For those who can afford it, there is a new jet in town that promises to take luxury flying to another level – the Bombardier Global 7500.
Dubbed as one of the most technologically advanced business jets ever built, this aircraft boasts a range of over 7,500 nautical miles and can fly nonstop from New York to Hong Kong or Singapore. With an impressive maximum speed of Mach 0.925 (around 710 mph), it also offers unparalleled speed for its class.
But what really sets this private jet apart is its spaciousness and amenities. Its cabin has been designed with comfort and relaxation in mind, featuring four living spaces that can be configured any way passengers choose.
The first thing you notice when you step inside the Global 7500 is how big it feels – like a small apartment rather than an airplane cabin. The main lounge area includes comfortable seating for up to eight passengers, with large windows providing natural light and breathtaking views outside.
Moving towards the back of the plane, there’s a fully equipped kitchen where top-notch chefs prepare gourmet meals on board. The galley features premium appliances including two convection ovens, a microwave oven and Nespresso machine among others.
Right next to the kitchen is another living space which doubles as a dining room or conference room depending on your needs. This section comes complete with an adjustable table that seats six people comfortably and state-of-the-art AV equipment for presentations or entertainment during long flights.
Further back lies the master bedroom suite which houses a full-sized bed along with ample storage space for luggage and personal items. The ensuite bathroom includes high-end features such as heated floors, marble countertops and even shower facilities allowing passengers to freshen up before touchdown at their destination.
For those travelling with family members or colleagues, there are additional sleeping quarters located elsewhere in the cabin. These consist of two separate rooms, each with its own private bathroom and flat-screen TV.
When it comes to entertainment options onboard, the Global 7500 does not disappoint. The cabin is equipped with a state-of-the-art AV system that includes high-speed Wi-Fi, multiple satellite TV channels and surround sound speakers throughout the plane. Passengers can also enjoy movies or music on-demand via a large touchscreen display located in every living area.
But all these luxurious amenities come at a price – an eye-watering $73 million to be exact. That’s right; this jet costs more than some small countries’ GDPs combined! But for billionaires who demand privacy, comfort and convenience when travelling between continents, nothing else will do.
Of course, Bombardier isn’t the only company offering luxury private jets. Rivals such as Gulfstream Aerospace and Dassault Aviation also have their own line of business jets catering to the ultra-rich clientele.
So what sets the Global 7500 apart from its competition? For starters, it has a longer range than any other business jet currently in production. It’s also wider and taller inside compared to other models of similar size, providing passengers with more space to relax during long flights.
In addition to this impressive aircraft design, Bombardier has paid close attention to details such as aesthetics which add value for their clients. The interior décor features premium materials like leather upholstery and exotic wood veneers giving passengers an experience akin to that of a luxury hotel suite rather than just another airplane cabin.
Despite all these bells and whistles though – let’s face it – flying privately is still not exactly environmentally friendly or sustainable. While there have been efforts by manufacturers like Bombardier towards improving fuel efficiency through new engine technology or alternative fuel sources – we cannot ignore how much carbon emissions these planes are responsible for as well as noise pollution generated around airports where they take off/land.
All things considered, the Bombardier Global 7500 is truly a marvel of engineering and design, representing the pinnacle of luxury travel. It’s no surprise that it has already become a favorite among the world’s elite – from business moguls to Hollywood celebrities. For them, it’s worth every penny for an experience that is both exclusive and unforgettable.
