Bombardier Global 6000: Charter Cost, Specs, and Cabin Guide
Charter a Bombardier Global 6000 from $10,000 to $14,000 per hour. Full 2026 specs, three-zone cabin layout, route capabilities across 6,000nm range.
A Bombardier Global 6000 charter from New York to London costs roughly $70,000 to $112,000 for the entire aircraft. The same trip on a Global 7500 (its flagship successor) can run $84,000 to $160,000. Both aircraft fly the route nonstop. Both have three-zone cabins, full-service galleys, and stand-up headroom. The difference is that the Global 6000 consistently sits at the lower end of ultra-long-range charter pricing, making it one of the smartest choices in the category for charter clients who prioritise value without compromising on range or cabin quality.
This is the full breakdown of the Bombardier Global 6000 in 2026: what it costs to charter, what the cabin and specs deliver, which routes its 6,000 nautical mile range unlocks, and how it compares to the Global 6500 and Global 7500.
Key takeaways
- The Bombardier Global 6000 has a range of 6,000 nautical miles, connecting virtually any two major cities on earth with at most one fuel stop
- Charter rates run $10,000 to $14,000 per flight hour in 2026, with total trip costs varying by route length, positioning, and seasonal demand
- The three-zone cabin measures 43 feet 3 inches long, 7 feet 11 inches wide, and 6 feet 2 inches tall, one of the largest in the ultra-long-range class
- Production ran from 2012 to 2022, with all Global 6000 aircraft now available exclusively on the pre-owned market at $21 million to $40 million depending on year and condition
- The Global 6000 remains one of the most chartered ultra-long-range jets worldwide due to its combination of range, cabin size, and competitive operating economics
Bombardier Global 6000 specifications
The Global 6000 sits in the ultra-long-range category of business jets, powered by two Rolls-Royce BR710A2-20 turbofan engines producing 14,750 pounds of thrust each.
Performance
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Range | 6,000 nautical miles (11,112 km) |
| Maximum Cruise Speed | Mach 0.89 (513 knots) |
| Long-Range Cruise Speed | Mach 0.80 to 0.85 (460 to 490 knots) |
| Service Ceiling | 51,000 feet |
| Engines | 2x Rolls-Royce BR710A2-20 (14,750 lbs thrust each) |
| Fuel Burn | Approximately 484 gallons per hour |
| Takeoff Distance | 5,820 feet (sea level) |
| Landing Distance | 2,236 feet (sea level) |
Dimensions
| Measurement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Cabin Length | 43 ft 3 in (13.18 m) |
| Cabin Width | 7 ft 11 in (2.41 m) |
| Cabin Height | 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m) |
| Baggage Capacity | 195 cubic feet |
| Passenger Capacity | Up to 13 (typical configuration) |
The relatively short landing distance of 2,236 feet allows the Global 6000 to access regional and international airports that many other ultra-long-range jets cannot use.
Cabin layout and experience
The Global 6000 cabin is divided into three distinct zones, each designed for a different function during long-haul flights.
Forward cabin
The forward cabin typically features a four-seat club configuration with pull-out tables on each side. Designed for working, dining, and conversation. Stand-up height of 6 feet 2 inches throughout.
Mid cabin
The mid cabin usually includes a side-facing divan opposite a four-seat conference grouping with an adjustable-height table. Works equally well for in-flight meetings and for relaxing during longer legs.
Aft cabin
The aft cabin features a three-person berthable divan and two additional club seats, creating a private area for rest. The aft lavatory and an in-flight accessible baggage compartment complete the rear of the aircraft.
Galley and crew area
Passengers board through the main entry and pass through a full-size galley equipped with an oven, microwave, sink, coffee and espresso machine, ice drawer, chilled storage, and a dedicated work surface. A crew rest area sits opposite the galley.

Bombardier Global 6000 charter cost
Hourly rates
The typical charter rate for a Bombardier Global 6000 runs $10,000 to $14,000 per flight hour. Some operators quote as high as $18,000 per hour during peak periods (December holidays, summer Europe routes).
Additional costs on top of the hourly rate include:
- Federal excise tax: 7.5% FET on domestic US charters, plus per-passenger segment fees
- Landing and handling fees: charged by the airport and FBO at each stop
- Overnight crew expenses: applicable on multi-day trips
- Catering: standard provisioning to full premium catering
- Positioning fees: if the aircraft needs to reposition from its base
Example route pricing
| Route | Flight Time | Estimated Charter Cost |
|---|---|---|
| New York to London | 7 to 8 hours | $70,000 to $112,000 |
| Los Angeles to Tokyo | 11 to 12 hours | $110,000 to $168,000 |
| London to Dubai | 6 to 7 hours | $60,000 to $98,000 |
| New York to Los Angeles | 5 to 6 hours | $50,000 to $84,000 |
| Miami to Sao Paulo | 8 to 9 hours | $80,000 to $126,000 |
Per-passenger economics
With a full cabin of 13 passengers on a New York to London flight, the per-person cost works out to approximately $5,400 to $8,600. That compares to $5,000 to $15,000 for a first-class commercial ticket on the same route, but with the added benefits of private terminal access, custom scheduling, and a cabin configured entirely for your group.

When the Global 6000 is the better choice
- Budget-conscious ultra-long-range travel: competitive hourly rates in the Bombardier Global family
- Routes under 6,000 nm: delivers the same nonstop capability as its successors at a lower cost
- Availability: with an estimated 200+ aircraft in service worldwide, more widely available on charter
When to step up: Global 6000 vs Global 7500
Three factors push you to the Global 7500:
- Routes exceeding 6,000 nm — the 7500’s 7,700 nm range opens up city pairs the 6000 cannot reach nonstop
- Speed priority — Mach 0.925 maximum cruise speed
- Four-zone cabin — adds a fourth cabin zone, providing a dedicated private suite on the longest flights
Ownership context: the pre-owned market
Production ran from 2012 to 2022 (approximately 200+ airframes), and all Global 6000 aircraft are now pre-owned. Current asking prices range from $21 million for early 2012 to 2015 models to $40 million for late-production 2020 to 2022 aircraft, depending on hours, engine programme, and cabin condition.
With 15 to 20 aircraft listed for sale globally at any given time, the Global 6000 remains one of the most liquid ultra-long-range jets on the market.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to charter a Bombardier Global 6000?
Charter rates for the Global 6000 typically run $10,000 to $14,000 per flight hour in 2026, with some operators charging up to $18,000 during peak periods. A New York to London charter on a Global 6000 typically costs $70,000 to $112,000 before taxes and fees.
What is the range of the Bombardier Global 6000?
The Global 6000 has a published range of 6,000 nautical miles (11,112 km), allowing nonstop flights between most major global city pairs. This covers transatlantic routes like New York to London or Paris, and many intercontinental routes like London to Dubai or Hong Kong to Sydney.
How many passengers can a Global 6000 carry?
The Global 6000 typically seats up to 13 passengers in a three-zone cabin configuration. The cabin can be configured for up to 19 passengers in a high-density layout, though charter configurations rarely exceed 13 seats to maintain the comfort and space the aircraft is designed for.
Is the Bombardier Global 6000 still in production?
No. Bombardier produced the Global 6000 from 2012 to 2022. It was succeeded by the Global 6500, which entered service in 2019 and features updated Rolls-Royce Pearl engines, 600 nautical miles of additional range, and a redesigned cabin. All Global 6000 aircraft are now available on the pre-owned market.
What is the difference between the Global 6000 and Global 6500?
The Global 6500 offers 600 nautical miles of additional range (6,600 nm vs 6,000 nm), updated Rolls-Royce Pearl engines with lower fuel burn, a slightly higher maximum cruise speed, and a cabin redesigned based on the Global 7500 interior. Charter rates for the Global 6500 are typically 15% to 30% higher than the Global 6000.
Can a Global 6000 fly from New York to Tokyo nonstop?
The New York to Tokyo route is approximately 5,850 nautical miles, which is technically within the Global 6000's published range but leaves very thin fuel reserves. In practice, many operators will require a fuel stop in Anchorage (Alaska) or a reduced passenger load depending on wind conditions and aircraft weight.
