Why Consider
The Global 5500 delivers 5,900 nm of range with the same 7 ft 11 in cabin width as the Global 6500—the widest in its class—at a lower acquisition cost. Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 engines and the Smooth Flex Wing give it the smoothest ride and among the slowest landing speeds in the segment, unlocking airports its competitors avoid.
Key Features
Range 5,900nm | Widest cabin in class (7 ft 11 in) | Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 | Smooth Flex Wing | Nuage seating, Soleil lighting, 4K entertainment | Three living zones + crew rest
Total Cost of Ownership
Fixed costs: two-pilot crew approximately $650–750K, hangar approximately $160K, insurance $110–150K. Variable: fuel approximately 480 GPH (~$2,650/hr US Jet-A). Rolls-Royce CorporateCare Enhanced for Pearl 15: approximately $850–950/engine/flight hour. Total annual cost at 300 hrs: $2.6–3.4M.
Charter Rates
Charter rates: $10,000–$15,000/hr on transatlantic and transcontinental routes. Strong demand in the ULR charter segment, particularly US–Europe and intra-Asia. Annual gross revenue at 300 charter hours: $3.0–4.5M.
Ideal Missions
Ideal for principals flying London–Los Angeles, Hong Kong–Sydney or São Paulo–Paris nonstop who want Global-family cabin comfort without stepping up to Global 6500/8000 pricing.
Market Intelligence
Engine & Maintenance Programs
2× Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 (15,125 lbf each). Rolls-Royce CorporateCare Enhanced covers scheduled and unscheduled events including LRU coverage; approximately $850–950/engine/flight hour and fully transferable at sale. Pearl 15 commonality with the Global 6500 fleet supports strong parts availability.
Pre-owned Market
Young fleet (first delivery 2020) with very limited pre-owned supply—typically 2–4 units on the market globally. Asking prices $34–42M for 2020–2023 examples. Low supply keeps residuals firm; act quickly when enrolled CorporateCare examples surface.
Runway & Airport Access
Minimum runway: approximately 1,676 m (5,500 ft) at MTOW—with excellent short-field capability at typical mission weights. Teterboro (KTEB), Farnborough (EGLF), Geneva (LSGG), Le Bourget (LFPB): accessible. Best-in-class wet and dry runway performance among ULR jets.
