Take a look inside the 3-month-old jet
While most are coming straight from Bombardier’s factory, one owner is currently selling his Global 7500 with an asking price of $70 million. It’s currently the only “pre-owned” Global 7500 for sale and with a clear demand for the aircraft, it likely won’t be on the market for too much longer once the pandemic eases up, according to seller Philip Rushton of the aircraft acquisition and sales firm Aviatrade

The first seating area, known as the club suite, consists of two pairs of club seats, each with their own table stowed in the sidewall.

All seats are Bombardier’s new Nuage seat which do not recline fully flat but offer a deep recline thanks to a unique tilt system, as well as an adjustable headrest and floating base for easy movements.

The conference and dining suite is located directly behind the club suite featuring six club seats in total, each around a fixed table. The two ends can also be connected when more space is needed.

The first two passenger compartments are seamlessly connected with no barriers dividing them, offering an open concept-style configuration in the front of the plane.

Two couches then make up the more intimate lounge area. They can also be made into beds when taking on additional guests.

Other options for this section include the entertainment suite where one couch sits adjacent to a large, high-definition television ideal for entertainment on a long-haul flight.

The highlight of the aircraft is the bedroom, located in the rear of the aircraft and complete with a full bed.

The Global 7500 is one of the few jets in its class to offer this feature but with the longer than 16 hours of flight that this jet is capable of, the bed certainly comes in handy.

Opposite the bed is also a single-seat for a more private workspace complete with a retractable table stored in the sidewall.

Behind the bedroom is the lavatory complete with a full sink and its own window. The owner opted against the shower feature, with Rushton telling Business Insider that it uses up too much potable water for it to be useful.

Other unique aspects about the aircraft are its oversized windows, offering bounds of natural light and greater views from altitude.

As well as its fully-equipped forward galley, featuring a convective oven, refrigerator, and freezer.

Opposite the galley is a crew rest area with a bunk bed to house additional pilots on the longest flights. The feature was a major selling point for the owner who initially wanted the flexibility to use the plane to its maximum extent.

Though the pandemic has delayed some overseas buyers from coming to visit the aircraft and ultimately complete a transaction, Rushton believes this aircraft won’t be for sale much longer.

The jet is a hot commodity, despite having been delivered to an owner, as the backlog of Global 7500s stretches until around 2022, Rushton told Business Insider. And as this jet is the only one on the market ready for near-immediate delivery, it’ll still fetch a pretty penny.
