Overview
The Global 6500 pairs the established Global 6000-size cabin with Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 engines and wing improvements. It occupies the longer-cabin position in the 5500/6500 pair, below the larger four-zone Global 7500 and 8000.
Program history
The 6500 received Canadian certification alongside the 5500 in 2019. Its development renews the original Global Express lineage while retaining a platform familiar to existing Global operators.
