Where the Global 6000 fits
Three zone cabin and a very large charter fleet, which usually makes it the easiest ultra long range aircraft to source at short notice.
This class exists to remove the fuel stop from intercontinental flying. Cabin altitude, humidity and noise are engineered around fourteen hour missions, and the seats convert to genuine flat beds.
On a 1,000 nautical mile sector the Bombardier Global 6000 plans out near 2h 26m. Push it to 2,000 nautical miles and you are looking at roughly 4h 32m, which it covers nonstop.
The cabin measures about 6.2 ft high by 8.2 ft wide across 43.3 ft of length. That is a genuine stand up cabin for nearly every adult.

Published city pairs the Bombardier Global 6000 covers without a fuel stop, using under 80 percent of its book range so a full cabin does not change the answer.
Questions
About the Global 6000
How many passengers does the Bombardier Global 6000 carry?
Typical charter seating is 13. Maximum certificated seating can be higher, but the practical number falls once baggage and sector length are counted, because seats and fuel compete for the same weight allowance. On a short leg you may fit the full 13. On a leg near the range limit you will not.
What is the range of the Bombardier Global 6000?
Published maximum range is 6,000 nautical miles, about 11,112 km. Plan real missions at roughly 80 percent of that figure with a full cabin. Headwinds, a hot departure field and high elevation all reduce it further, which is why we flag legs above that threshold for operator confirmation.
How fast is the Bombardier Global 6000?
Typical cruise is 488 knots, which is about 562 mph. On a 1,000 nautical mile sector that works out near 2h 26m block to block once taxi, climb and descent are included. Short sectors run proportionally slower because the aircraft never settles at cruise.
What runway length does the Bombardier Global 6000 need?
Balanced field length at maximum takeoff weight, sea level, standard temperature is about 6,476 ft. That is the best case. Add elevation, add heat, add a wet runway, and the requirement grows, which is the mechanism behind most weight restrictions at mountain airports on summer afternoons.
Does the Bombardier Global 6000 have a lavatory?
Two enclosed lavatory. Two separate compartments, forward and aft.
