Heavy jet charter
Charter a Global 5000: long range in a three-zone cabin
The Bombardier Global 5000 is a long-range heavy jet with a wide, stand-up cabin. We arrange it for larger parties and long flights, at one fully inclusive price. Charter-A is a broker: every flight is flown by a licensed operator under an air operator certificate.
If the flight is cancelled because of the weather, you pay nothing.
The aircraft
The Bombardier Global 5000 at a glance
The Global 5000 belongs to Bombardier’s Global family of long-range business jets. It first flew in March 2003 and entered service in April 2005. Bombardier describes it as having a three-zone cabin, and gives a maximum range of 5,200 nautical miles (9,630 km) at Mach 0.85.
- Up to 16 passengers by the maker’s figure, typically 13 to 14 seats on charter aircraft
- Cabin 40 ft 9 in long, 7 ft 11 in wide and 6 ft 2 in high
- Typical cruise of Mach 0.85, about 560 mph
- Forward and aft lavatories, and a galley
- Luggage hold that can be reached during the flight
It sits in the long-range end of the heavy jet class. We do not own aircraft: we find the right Global 5000, or a close alternative, for your dates and route.

Where the figures come from
Seats, cabin size, range, speeds and altitude are Bombardier’s published figures for the type. The cabin length is measured from the cockpit divider to the rear of the cabin, without the luggage hold.
Bombardier does not print a luggage volume on its specification sheet, so the hold figure is the range quoted by independent aircraft guides.
Each aircraft is fitted out differently. Seat count, bed layout and equipment are confirmed for the actual aircraft on your quote.

Other heavy jets we arrange include the Gulfstream G650, the Embraer Legacy 650 and the Challenger 604. Ask us to quote them side by side for your route.
Typical missions
What the Global 5000 is chartered for
Geneva to Miami
Bombardier names Geneva to Miami as a city pair the Global 5000 can fly non-stop, under certain operating conditions.
London City Airport
Bombardier lists London City among the demanding airfields the type can use. Approval depends on the aircraft and crew, so we confirm it with your quote.
Larger parties in Europe
On shorter flights the appeal is the cabin: room to stand, separate areas to work, eat and rest, and space for a bigger group.
On board
Cabin, layout and luggage on the Global 5000
The cabin is 7 ft 11 in wide and 6 ft 2 in high, so most passengers can stand and move about freely. Bombardier describes the cabin as three zones, which gives separate areas to work, eat and rest, and a private room at the rear was offered as an option. Layouts vary from aircraft to aircraft, so ask us for the floor plan of the aircraft quoted.
- Seats: up to 16 by the maker’s figure, typically 13 to 14 on charter aircraft.
- Overnight flights: the seats on the type were designed to convert to flat beds. The number of beds depends on the layout.
- Galley: a galley equipped to prepare full meals. See private jet catering for what you can order.
- Lavatories: one forward and one aft.
- Luggage: the hold is typically quoted at 183 to 195 cubic feet, and Bombardier states that it can be reached safely during the flight.
Tell us what you are bringing when you ask for a quote: skis, golf bags, pushchairs or a pet. Pets fly in the cabin on most aircraft, subject to the aircraft and the route’s pet rules.
