The Hong Kong based aircraft management company seeks to order up to 18 Global 6500 and Global 7500 aircraft. A Letter of Intent (LOI) was signed during the 18th European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition EBACE in Geneva (Switzerland).

According to current list prices, the deal is valued at approximately $1.14 billion U.S. With the new aircraft, HK Bellawings Jet hopes to further modernize and expand its existing fleet of 26 aircraft.

Peter Likoray, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Marketing, Bombardier Business Aircraft said: “We’re thrilled with the tremendous response we have received since launching our newest Global aircraft just days ago [...] Our leading Global aircraft will contribute to the continued success of HK Bellawings Jet Limited and its operations in the region.”

HK Bellawings’ President Mr. Zhang Yijia added: “We are glad to announce our letter of intent to purchase 18 Global 6500 and Global 7500 on the first day of EBACE. Global 6500 and Global 7500 are the top-of-the-range aircraft from Bombardier’s latest generation. The two models align with HK Bellawings’ rapid development to be a one-stop business aviation solution, empowering us to reach higher and further in the long run.”

Both the Global 6500 and Global 7500 have been launched recently by Bombardier. The aircraft are set to fly long-haul flights. For example, the Global 6500 is able to connect Hong Kong or Singapore with London due to additional range and speed. The Global 7500 on the other hand has an unmatched range of 7,700 nautical miles (14260,4 km). It is the only business jet that can connect New York with Hong Kong or Singapore with San Francisco.

HK Bellawings Jet, founded in 2014, is headquartered at Hong Kong International Airport. The carrier defines itself as business jet management company. Its services include aircraft maintenance, travel services, aircraft acquisition services and business aviation consultancy as well. Its fleet consists of 26 aircraft, including two Boeing 737-700BBJs, several Global 5000 and 600s, as well as Gulfstream, Dassault and Embraer aircraft. On ABACE 2018, the operator unveiled a new brand image.
