Editorial safety summary — see Bombardier Global 6000 listings and consult a qualified A&P/inspector for individual aircraft decisions.

The Bombardier Global family (Global Express, Global 5000, Global 6000, Global 7500) is the ultra-long-range Bombardier flagship with safety characteristics consistent with top-tier business aviation: Rolls-Royce BR710 (Global 6000) or Pearl 15 (Global 7500) engines with excellent reliability, two-crew operations with rigorous recurrent training, modern fly-by-wire (7500) or conventional advanced avionics (6000), oceanic FANS/CPDLC compliance and the Bombardier global service network. Fatal accidents in the Global fleet are rare; operations are exclusively by professional flight departments with the highest training standards.
