For buyers evaluating options in the pre-owned heavy jet market, few aircraft combine the range, reliability, and spacious luxury of the Bombardier Global Express XRS. Introduced in 2005 as a strategic upgrade to the game-changing Global Express, the XRS extended its predecessor’s capabilities and set a new standard for ultra-long-range performance. For high-net-worth individuals and corporate flight departments working alongside a trusted aircraft brokerage, it remains a top-tier choice for transcontinental and transoceanic missions.

PERFORMANCE THAT PUSHES THE LIMITS

The “XRS” in the name stands for “eXtra Range and Speed,” and the aircraft delivered on that promise with significant enhancements:

• More Range: The XRS increased its range to over 6,100 nautical miles, thanks to a newly installed forward fuel tank and wing refinements. This expansion unlocked key nonstop city pairings, such as New York to Tokyo and Los Angeles to Sydney.

• Fast and Efficient: Powered by two reliable Rolls-Royce BR710 turbofan engines, the XRS achieves a high-speed cruise of Mach 0.88, getting passengers to their destination faster.

• Enhanced Airfield Capabilities: The XRS inherited the Global family’s ability to operate out of challenging, short-field, or high-altitude airports, giving owners access to a far wider network of destinations.

A CABIN CRAFTED FOR MAXIMUM COMFORT AND WELLNESS

The Global Express XRS continued the family’s tradition of a wide, ultra-comfortable cabin, introducing refinements that elevate the in-flight experience:

• Unmatched Space: At 8.2 feet wide with over six feet of headroom, the stand-up cabin offers a level of spaciousness that rivals newer, higher-cost models. Typical configurations comfortably seat 10 to 14 passengers across three distinct zones for meetings, dining, and relaxation.

• Abundant Natural Light: Large, redesigned cabin windows allow natural light to flood the interior, creating an open, inviting atmosphere.

• Whisper-Quiet Flight: Advanced soundproofing techniques and efficient engines ensure an exceptionally quiet cabin, allowing for maximum productivity or restful sleep on long-haul legs.

• Accessible Amenities: Designed for passenger convenience, the aircraft features a full forward galley and an in-flight accessible baggage compartment.

SMART AVIONICS FOR A SAFER FLIGHT

Equipped originally with the Honeywell Primus 2000XP avionics suite, many pre-owned Global Express XRS aircraft have since been upgraded to the modern Bombardier Vision flight deck. These upgrades add synthetic vision systems and dual head-up displays (HUD), providing pilots with superior situational awareness while reducing workload during complex approaches.

A SMART INVESTMENT IN THE PRE-OWNED MARKET

For buyers navigating business aircraft transactions, working with an experienced aircraft brokerage can reveal incredible value in the pre-owned Global Express XRS market:

• Lower Acquisition Cost: The purchase price of a used Global Express XRS is significantly lower than its successors, the Global 6000 and 6500, making true global-capable, large-cabin ownership far more accessible.

• Proven Reliability: Robust airframe construction, proven Rolls-Royce engine performance, and Bombardier’s extensive global support network offer a reliable ownership foundation.

• Strong Resale Value: Driven by sustained global demand, the Global Express XRS has historically maintained strong residual values, making it a sound long-term asset when guided by a full-service aircraft brokerage.
