Empire Aviation Group has added a Bombardier Global 6500 business jet to its managed fleet for an existing owner, strengthening the company’s ultra long-range aircraft offering. The aircraft will be based in Dubai and will be available for charter as well as owner operations.

Empire Aviation supported the private owner through registration, delivery and the recruitment and training of dedicated flight crew for both owner and charter operations.

The Global 6500 offers a range of around 6,600nm, allowing nonstop links between city pairs such as London to Hong Kong and Los Angeles to Dubai. It can cruise at up to Mach 0.90 and is designed for long-haul business aviation missions requiring range, comfort and operational flexibility.

Its cabin includes multiple living zones, lounge, dining or conference areas and a private suite. Bombardier’s Nuage seating, circadian lighting, 4K entertainment system and Smooth Flex Wing technology are intended to reduce fatigue and enhance comfort on longer flights.

Dhamecha says: “The Global 6500 hits the sweet spot for owners and charter. It’s an excellent choice and joins several long-range aircraft on our managed fleet. These are popular among our owners and charter clients and it’s easy to see why. The aircraft’s versatility is a key advantage. Despite its ultra long-range capability, the Global 6500 can still operate efficiently into a wide range of airports worldwide.”
