Bombardier says its Global family of aircraft is entering a new era: the revolutionary Nuage chaise innovation means Global 5500 and 6500 passengers will benefit from greater comfort.
Bombardier's Nuage chaise will brings comfort and versatility to the Global 5500 and 6500.

Bombardier's Nuage chaise, unveiled at EBACE, is business aviation's first and only lounge chair that converts into a flat surface for sleeping or banquet-style dining around the conference grouping table. The OEM claims that within the fluid lines of its exceptionally crafted architecture is a marvel of furniture engineering, meticulously designed to maximise comfort in flight.

“In designing the Nuage chaise, we wanted to bring flexibility to the cabin experience, maximising comfort and relaxation on long-haul flights. It introduces an all-new, ergonomically-perfected lounge position not offered on any other business aircraft,” says Bombardier Business Aircraft senior vice president, worldwide sales and marketing Peter Likoray. “Our customers will benefit from the most comfortable cabin experience with exclusive features that are as innovative as they are luxurious, all the while enjoying the unrivalled performance and smooth ride signature to Bombardier's industry-leading Global aircraft.”

The modular architecture of the chair merges utility, comfort and style. Inspired by a chaise longue, its minimalist style lends to the cabin's open feeling, while its varied functionality gives this space unprecedented versatility. A revolutionary four-in-one design, the Nuage chaise can be used for meetings, dining, lounging and sleeping, effectively broadening the utility of the whole cabin.

The Global 5500 and Global 6500 aircraft will enter service with stunning new cabins featuring the patented seat. Ultra-fast connectivity combined with the industry's first 4K, ultra-high-resolution system, will maximise productivity and comfort, and customers will have safe access to baggage at all times.
