NetJets' first Signature Series Global 6000 is now on its way to entering service. Chairman and ceo Jordan Hansell says: "This is the first all-new aircraft of the 670 we have on order.

"We have been successful in selling all the shares in this Global 6000 aircraft and we are excited because it kicks off the overall renewal of our fleet. Our customers expect the very best and we are confident that the Signature Series Global 6000 will exceed their exacting expectations."

Bombardier says that the jet's cabin size and levels of comfort combined with an optional stand-up shower and the Bombardier Vision flight deck mean no other purpose-built business jet comes close in terms of high speed range capability and traveller comfort.

NetJets Signature Series is a range of new aircraft to enter the fleet that are customised from design through to production and include advanced cockpit and cabin technologies to ensure maximum safety, reliability and operating efficiency. Amongst others, the series includes the Bombardier Global jet family and the Challenger 300 and 605 series jets.
