History
The Bombardier Global 6000, part of the Global Express line by Bombardier, is a large business jet that first entered into service in 2012. Powered by Rolls Royce turbofan jet engines, the Global 6000 can carry a maximum of 17 passengers and can fly over 6,000 nautical miles.
Due to advanced wing technology, the wings are capable of flexing more than any other aircraft in its class. This allows the Global 6000 to handle turbulence much more efficiently and creates an incredibly comfortable ride for passengers.
