The High-flying History of the 5500
Bombardier unveiled the design for the Global 5500 in May 2018. The intent was to build a long-range jet with improved wing design that could handle Mach 0.9 speeds. Since the company already had a successful design with the legendary Challenger 600 series, the 5500 jet went from the drawing board to test flights in less than two years. At an estimated cost of $46 million, the Global 5500 is the pinnacle of long-range flight comfort and technology.
The Global 5500 features the widest cabin in its size-class. Designed with three distinct living spaces, the jet boasts a forward club suite, a conference suite, and an aft lounge suite.
Bombardier has redefined comfort with patented deep-recline Nuage seats. Eat, work, and rest supported in elegant style. The lounge area also has a Nuage chaise – a reclining seat that follows the contours of your body as you relax.
