Bombardier Global 7500
The Global 7500 redefined the top of the market in 2018 with four distinct living spaces, a full-size kitchen and a 7,700 nm range that set the record for the longest business-jet flight. Bombardier delivered its 200th example in late 2024, and the type remains the best-selling ultra-long-range jet of its generation.
In short: The Bombardier Global 7500 is a Ultra-Long-Range with a range of 7,700 nm, a cruise speed of 516 knots and room for 13 passengers. It lists at about $78M new and costs roughly $6,700 an hour to operate (estimate).

The second-hand jet market explained for the curious
Used business jets trade less like cars and more like small companies: records, engines, tax timing, maintenance slots and reputation all shape the price. In 2026, supply is still tight, but buyers are choosier than the headline numbers suggest.
Why business jets fly faster than airliners
The fastest business jets are not faster by accident. They trade fuel, cabin capacity and design complexity for minutes saved, higher cruise altitudes and a smaller passenger count whose time is often the main payload.
How private aviation is trying to cut carbon
Private aviation’s carbon plan rests on sustainable aviation fuel, better routing, tighter aircraft matching and cleaner designs. The hardest part is not proving the technology works, but getting enough low-carbon fuel to the ramps where business jets actually fly.

Match the cabin layout and overnight sleeping requirement to the proposed aircraft. A maximum-range figure does not establish the same payload on every route.

Editorial estimates, converted to the page currency. Operating budget = fixed + variable × hours. These are not charter quotes.
Three different prices
An acquisition estimate buys the asset. Variable hourly cost pays for flying it. A charter proposal buys a particular journey and may include positioning and other charges. Compare each against the same type of cost, not against one another.
What the annual budget includes
These figures use this aircraft record’s fixed and variable editorial estimates. They show cash operating costs at three utilisation levels, excluding acquisition, depreciation, financing or capital charges, taxes and extraordinary work. Missing inputs stay unavailable.
