VH-LON Aircraft Overview
VH-LON is a Robinson Helicopter Co Bombardier Global 7500 registered in Australia under serial number 1664. Classified as an ultra-long-range heavy jet, this airframe operates at the top of the business aviation market, serving intercontinental missions that most platforms cannot reach nonstop. The aircraft is associated with Mcclymont, Rex Edward, registered through the CASA. Manufactured in 1990, the aircraft has 36 years in service.
Bombardier Global 7500 Market Position
The Global 7500 is Bombardier's flagship, holding the range record for purpose-built business jets at 7,700 nautical miles. The four-zone cabin is the largest in the segment, with a dedicated crew rest area. Delivered since 2018, it competes directly with the Gulfstream G700 at the top of the market.
Performance Profile
The Bombardier Global 7500 was designed for one purpose: eliminating fuel stops on the longest legs in private aviation. At a high-speed cruise of 516 knots, it covers 7,700 nautical miles without refueling, connecting city pairs like New York to Dubai or Los Angeles to London direct. The 51,000-foot service ceiling keeps it above airline traffic and convective weather. Power comes from 2x GE Passport.
Mission Profile
Ultra-long-range aircraft like the Bombardier Global 7500 serve a narrow but demanding segment: principals who require nonstop intercontinental capability without compromising cabin space or operational reliability. The cabin footprint, typically configured for 19 passengers with lie-flat seating and full galley service, supports productive work or rest over flights exceeding 12 hours.
Charter & Availability
VH-LON is registered in Australia under the CASA. Contact The Jet Finder to inquire about charter availability for this aircraft or similar Bombardier Global 7500 platforms worldwide.
Insider Note
On ultra-long-range missions, fuel load directly impacts payload. A Bombardier Global 7500 departing at maximum fuel will carry fewer passengers and less baggage than on shorter legs. Discuss weight-and-balance planning with your operator before committing to a route that pushes the aircraft's published range.
