The aircraft can reach destinations including Perth, Vancouver and Dubai non-stop from São Paulo. The jet also features the lowest cabin altitude in business aviation production at 2,691ft while cruising at 41,000 ft and its advanced wing design is said to enable access to up to 30% more airports than its closest rival.
The Global 6500, with a top speed of Mach 0.90 and range of 6,600 nautical miles, connects São Paulo to destinations including London, Aspen and Lagos. The Challenger 3500, the most-delivered super mid-size business jet in 2025 at almost double the volume of its nearest competitor, offers a range of 3,400 nautical miles and a top speed of Mach 0.83.
“Bombardier is uniquely positioned in the Brazilian market, and we are delighted to be showcasing the incredible attributes of these impressive aircraft,” said Frank Vento, vice-president of sales for the US and Latin America at Bombardier.
The company also highlighted its regional service network, including the Authorised Service Facility MAGA Aviation at Catarina Airport, which provides line maintenance, parts and tooling for Global, Challenger and Learjet aircraft, as well as its full-service Miami Opa-Locka Service Centre spanning 300,000 sqft.
