What is the Bombardier Global 6000?
The Bombardier Global 6000 is an ultra-long-range business jet that seats 12 to 14 passengers in three cabin zones and flies about 6,000 nm non-stop. Its successor, the Global 6500, adds new engines and 600 nm more range in the same cabin.
Three cabin zones: a forward club, a mid conference and dining group, and an aft stateroom with a divan that makes up into a bed.
Stand-up cabin, 6 ft 2 in tall and 7 ft 11 in wide, with 2,002 cu ft of space and a baggage hold you can reach in flight.
Cabin altitude of 4,500 ft at 45,000 ft, which keeps long flights less tiring.
Bombardier Vision flight deck with a head-up display and enhanced vision on every Global 6000.
3 fly with 3 operators holding an ANAC air taxi authorisation, based in Belo Horizonte, São Paulo and São Roque. Altivo Jets books them through these licensed operators.

Global 6000 interior and cabin layout
Most charter Global 6000s use a three-zone layout for 12 to 14 passengers. Every aircraft is fitted out by its owner, so we confirm the exact seat map, beds and Wi-Fi with each quote.
- Four club seats facing in pairs
- Fold-out tables
- Four seats around a table that opens for dining or meetings
- Side divan opposite for lounging in cruise
- Three-place divan that makes up into a bed
- Two club seats
- Private lavatory behind
- Four club seats
- Four seats at an adjustable-height table
- Credenza opposite
- Two divans that both make up into beds
- Door to the aft lavatory
Cabin size
43 ft 3 in (13.18 m) long, 7 ft 11 in (2.41 m) wide and 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m) tall: 2,002 cu ft of stand-up space.
Galley
Full galley forward, typically with a high-temperature oven, microwave, large chiller and espresso maker.
Lavatories
Two in most layouts: a forward lavatory and a large aft lavatory, with a stand-up shower as an option.
Crew rest
Crew rest area forward, next to the galley, so the crew can rotate on long sectors.
Wi-Fi and connectivity
Ka-band Wi-Fi (Bombardier WAVE on Inmarsat Jet ConneX) was certified in 2016 and is fitted to many aircraft. Older aircraft may have Ku-band, SwiftBroadband or US air-to-ground service instead.
Baggage
195 cu ft heated and pressurised hold at the back of the cabin, reachable in flight.
Cabin altitude
4,500 ft at 45,000 ft. A lower cabin altitude means less fatigue and better sleep on long flights.
Beds
Up to 7 in flat beds and made-up divans, depending on the layout.
Cabin updates
Quieter cabin than the Global Express XRS thanks to improved insulation. Premier cabin from 2017: new seats, sideledges, a streamlined galley and stone or hardwood floor options. Ka-band Wi-Fi supports video calls and streaming where fitted.

How much does a Global 6000 cost?
A new Global 6000 listed at about $62.3 million in 2018. Production has ended, so most buyers look at pre-owned aircraft. Owning one also means paying to fly and maintain it, which is why most people who fly a few times a year charter instead.

What moves the price
