Bombardier to Delay New Global 7000 Business Jet

August 9, 2015 By Aircraft-Completion.com

Bombardier Global 7000 Business Jet

Bombardier will delay the debut of its new Global 7000 business jet until 2018.

Canada’s Bombardier is postponing the entry into service of its Global 7000 business jet due to a decline in orders and their financial position made worse from “development challenges” of its C Series commercial jet.

The Global 7000 business jet was set for customer deliveries in the 2nd half of 2016. With a range of  7,300 nm (13,520km), it was expected to compete with the introduction of Gulfstream G650 and the Dassault Falcon 5X/8X.  They company has not yet made a change to the schedule for the 2017 debut of the longer-range Global 8000.

Able to seat up to 19 passengers in the large cabin and with the extended range, it promised to be a hit with VIP and VVIP customers. The 2 year delay will certainly have potential clients looking for other options.

With the first flight test aircraft in final assembly, one of the challenges uncovered is a new advanced wing designed to improve long-range and short-field takeoff performance.  This has led to redesign some aspects of the wing as well as address issues with the new high efficient engine, new advanced avionics and the four-zone cabin.

Bombardier recently announced plans to curtail production of the Global 5000/6000 business jets to between 50-60 aircraft per year as well as pausing development of the Learjet 85.  Second quarter sales of Bombardier’s business jets were slow with soft demand from China, Latin America and Russia.
