Bombardier Business Aircraft has announced that its Global 7500 has been awarded Transport Canada Type Certification, which will enable it to enter into service this year. Certification by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) should follow in due course.
“The certification of our clean-sheet Global 7500 business jet is a defining moment for Bombardier, for our employees and for the industry, as we approach entry-into-service,” said David Coleal, President, Bombardier Business Aircraft. “Thanks to the rigour and innovation of our design and test program, the Global 7500 aircraft has succeeded in elevating every standard by which a business jet is measured – comfort, luxury, performance and a smooth ride. At entry-into-service, this aircraft will meet the latest and all of the most stringent certification requirements and is set to redefine international business jet travel. We couldn’t be more proud of this achievement.”
The Global 7500 aircraft has accumulated more than 2,700 flight hours since its flight testing program began in November 2016.
