A respective certificate was issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration. The certification is yet another milestone for Bombardier, which will pave the way for entry-into-service of the aircraft this year.

“The certification of our clean-sheet Global 7500 business jet is a defining moment for Bombardier, for our employees and for the industry, as we approach entry-into-service,” said David Coleal, President, Bombardier Business Aircraft.

“Thanks to the rigour and innovation of our design and test program, the Global 7500 aircraft has succeeded in elevating every standard by which a business jet is measured – comfort, luxury, performance and a smooth ride. At entry-into-service, this aircraft will meet the latest and all of the most stringent certification requirements and is set to redefine international business jet travel. We couldn’t be more proud of this achievement,” Coleal added.
