These seven records set aboard the Global 7500 since the start of 2024 are a testament to Phenix Jet's and Bombardier's commitment to excellence in the business aviation sector.

Phenix Jet has been recognised as the best Charter Operator and the Operator with the Largest Charter Fleet in Asia by the Asian Business Aviation Association (AsBAA) and Asian Sky Group respectively.

“We are thrilled to have set these remarkable world speed records, showcasing the unparalleled capabilities of the dedicated Phenix Jet Cayman operations team and the remarkable Bombardier Global 7500. These achievements underscore our commitment to providing our clients with exceptional service and groundbreaking experiences. We are thankful for the collaboration with Bombardier and this amazing G7500 aircraft in delivering the ultimate comfort and most efficient travel experience possible in the world today,” remarks Andrew Svoboda CEO of Phenix Jet Cayman.

“With the Bombardier Global 7500 aircraft, customers don't ever have to compromise between opting for outstanding speed or top field performance. This incredible aircraft simply offers both,” adds Emmanuel Bornand, vice president, international sales, Bombardier. “Thanks to the design excellence of its sophisticated Smooth Flĕx Wing, the Global 7500 delivers the best of two opposite worlds: high cruise speed with the ability to operate from very short and challenging runways to always be closer to destinations regardless of weather conditions.”

With its remarkable steep approach capabilities, the Global 7500 is the largest business aircraft to access London City airport and Gstaad Saanen in the Swiss Alps, providing a testament to the short-field performance and capabilities of this aircraft as well as its ability to operate at high altitudes and hot temperatures.
