- 1 The milestone marks the 100th Global 7500 that Bombardier has delivered and makes VistaJet the owner of 10% of the world’s 7500s.
- 2 Bombardier has recently consolidated its products to focus solely on business aircraft, with its Global 7500 being considered the best of the best.
- 3 The $75 million plane is the largest and longest-ranged purpose-built private jet on the market, boasting an incredible 7,700 nautical mile range and capacity of up to 19 passengers.
- 4 The jet has become a staple of luxury travel that can connect nearly any city pair on Earth, like from New York to Hong Kong or from London to Tokyo.
- 5 At a ceremony in Montreal on Tuesday, Bombardier CEO Éric Martel officially handed the keys to VistaJet founder and chairman Thomas Flohr.
- 6 “This industry has achieved a great deal, partially through COVID, and the world has actually discovered how efficient it is to use a business jet,” Flohr said at the event.
- 7 The first room passengers will see when they board is the club suite, which has four seats and a pull-out table in between each pair, allowing for plenty of space to work or discuss business.
- 8 The seats are zero-gravity loungers called Nuage that are exclusive to the Global 7500. They feature a unique tilt that allows the chair to have a deep recline and floating base.
- 9 “It feels like you’re floating,” Flohr told Insider. “They are a new development, and they are just more comfortable and a more modern look for passengers.”
- 10 The seats have plenty of storage space for phones, as well as USB and power outlets to charge electronics.
- 11 Directly behind the club suite is the conference suite, which also doubles as a dining room.
- 12 According to Flohr, the space is relatively new in the industry because it has six dining seats instead of the standard four.
- 13 In partnership with Bombardier, VistaJet developed a unique table that can fold out into a larger surface space but can also connect to the table across the aisle via a leaf in the middle.
- 14 Beyond the dining area, there is a cinema room with a large television and seating area.
- 15 Flohr explained that this can be used to relax, watch movies, view a presentation, or have a private business conversation. The room is divided from the conference and club suites via a soundproof pocket door.
- 16 Towards the back of the aircraft is a bedroom with a double bed, TV, and closet…
- 17 …and a separate lounger. The lounger also has a pull-out table.
- 18 The bedroom is one-of-a-kind in the industry, according to Flohr, and is important for long-haul travel.
- 19 “You cannot fly 15 hours in a seat or you’ll arrive wrecked, so we have installed a proper bed, not a pull-out, with a permanent mattress so passengers can actually sleep,” he told Insider.
- 20 After the bedroom is a full lavatory with a toilet and sink. It was spacious with plenty of room to change or freshen up. A shower can also be installed, though VistaJet did not have one onboard.
- 21 During the tour, Flohr emphasized the large size of the windows throughout the cabin, which he said makes passengers feel like they are “floating.”
- 22 Moreover, the seats always align with the windows, which have blinds that can be closed to create a dark cabin.
- 23 In addition to the four rooms, there is also a full galley and crew rest area at the front of the plane.
- 24 The rest area has space for three crew members to sit, or one to lay down and rest in between shifts, particularly on flights reaching 16 hours.
- 25 The galley has plenty of room for the crew members to prepare meals, drinks, or anything else a passenger may need, complete with two refrigerators and two ovens…
- 26 …and plenty of storage space for glassware.
- 27 Also in the crew rest area is a second lavatory, which is smaller than the aft bathroom but still spacious.
- 28 As far as the colors and textures used in the cabin, Flohr told Insider that it started with the color of espresso.
