The Bombardier Global Express was the aircraft that established the ultra-long-range category, and from Dallas it still covers 6,700 nautical miles, reaching London, Paris, Moscow, and Tel Aviv nonstop from DFW. It has been in service since 1999, which means the Dallas charter market has deep familiarity with its maintenance schedules and performance. Up to 19 passengers travel in a wide-body cabin that pioneered the three-zone layout now standard across the Global line.
Rolls-Royce BR710 engines power the Global Express to a cruise altitude of 51,000 feet, above most commercial traffic, and to a Mach 0.89 high-speed cruise. The original Global Express set the stage for every subsequent Global variant; its cabin dimensions remain competitive with current-generation heavy jets despite the age of the platform. Most operators have retrofitted connectivity and cabin entertainment to current standards. Full specifications for the Global Express are published by Bombardier.

Why the Global Express Fits Dallas
For Dallas clients who want a proven, wide-body long-range platform at a lower hourly rate than newer Global variants, the Express delivers the same nonstop transatlantic range at a price that reflects its production year rather than its capability.
Board-level international travel from DFW that runs Dallas to London twice a month has a very different economics calculation when the aircraft rate is $10,000 to $13,000 per hour versus $14,000 to $17,500 for a 7500. The Global Express is the traditional choice for buyers who prioritize cost discipline over cabin novelty.
DFW’s runway length supports a full-fuel Global Express departure on all standard transatlantic routings; the aircraft’s 6,700 nautical miles certified range actually exceeds some newer mid-generation competitors despite being the original platform.

- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
